- Creating Windows NT Setup Startup Disks
- =======================================================================
-
- If your Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server Setup floppy disks
- become corrupted, or are misplaced, you can create a new set by using
- Winnt.exe or Winnt32.exe from your Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT
- Server compact disc. These disks can be used to start Windows NT Workstation
- or Windows NT Server Setup, or can be used with your Emergency Repair Disk
- (ERD).
-
- Note
- You can create these boot disks from a computer running MS-DOS, Windows
- version 3.1, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, Windows NT Workstation, or
- Windows NT Server.
-
- To create Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server startup disks:
-
- 1. Insert the Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server compact disc
- into a CD-ROM drive.
- 2. From the MS-DOS command prompt, change to the CD-ROM drive and the
- correct platform folder (for example, \I386 for x86-based
- computers).
- 3. If the computer you are using is running Windows NT, type:
-
- winnt32 /ox
-
- at the command prompt, press Enter, and follow the instructions.
-
- If the computer you are using is running MS-DOS or Windows version 3.1,
- Windows for Workgroups, or Windows 95, type winnt /ox at the command prompt,
- press Enter, and follow the instructions.
-
-
- El Torito (No Emulation) Bootable CD-ROM Format
- =======================================================================
-
- If your computer's BIOS does not support the El Torito (no emulation)
- bootable CD-ROM format, you might get an error when you start your computer
- with the Windows NT compact disc inserted in the CD-ROM drive. To work
- around this problem, remove the compact disc from the CD-ROM drive and
- restart your computer.
-
-
- Setting Up Windows NT version 4.0 on Computers with
- Multiple CD-ROM Drives Installed
- =======================================================================
-
- If you have multiple compact disc drives installed, place the Windows NT
- compact disc in the drive that has first priority on your computer.
-
-
- Windows NT SCSI Driver Changes
- =======================================================================
-
- With the release of Windows NT version 4.0, drivers for certain SCSI
- adapters have been moved from the base operating system to the Windows NT
- Driver Library (\DRVLIB) included on the Windows NT version 4.0 compact
- disc. Check the following list to determine if any of your adapters are
- affected by this change. If your computer has an adapter that appears on
- this list, you must create a driver disk before installing Windows NT
- version 4.0. Use this disk to install the appropriate driver(s) during
- Setup, or keep the disk handy and install the driver using the Control Panel
- once Setup is complete.
-
- The following drivers have been moved:
-
- always.sys
- dtc329x.sys
- t128.syst13b.sys
- tmv1.sys
- ultra124.sys
- wd33c93.sys
-
- The following adapters are affected by this change:
-
- SCSI ADAPTERS -
-
- Always IN-2000
- Data Technology Corp. 3290
- Maynard 16-bit SCSI Adapter
- MediaVision Pro Audio Spectrum-16
- Trantor T-128
- Trantor T-130B
-
- DISK CONTROLLERS -
-
- UltraStor 124f EISA Disk Array Controller
-
- Please see the Windows NT Hardware Compatibility List for additional
- information on these storage adapters.
-
- To create a driver disk for drivers that have been moved to the Driver
- Library:
-
- 1. Create a blank formatted 3.5-inch disk.
- 2. Copy all files from the following directory to the blank disk:
-
- \drvlib\storage\retired\CPU_TYPE
-
- where CPU_TYPE is X86 if you are using a machine with an x86-based
- processor; MIPS if your computer uses a MIPS RISC processor; or
- ALPHA if your computer uses a Digital Alpha processor.
- 3. Label this disk "Drivers Disk".
-
- To install drivers from the drivers disk during Windows NT version 4.0
- Setup:
-
- 1. Start Windows NT Setup.
- During the course of Setup, a message appears stating "Setup has
- recognized the following mass storage devices in your computer."
- 2. When prompted, press S to skip detection, then press S again to
- display a list of supported SCSI host adapters.
- 3. Select Other from the bottom of the list.
- 4. Insert the Drivers Disk when prompted to do so, and select your host
- adapter from this list.
-
- Windows NT will now recognize any devices attached to this adapter. Repeat
- this step for each host adapter not already recognized by Windows NT Setup.
-
- To install drivers when Setup recognizes one of the supported SCSI host
- adapters without making the devices attached to it available for use:
-
- 1. Restart Windows NT Setup.
- 2. When Windows NT Setup displays the message "Setup is inspecting your
- computer's hardware configuration...," press F6.
- This prevents Windows NT Setup from performing disk controller
- detection and allows you to install the driver from the Drivers Disk
- you created. Note that all SCSI adapters will have to be installed
- manually.
- 3. When Windows NT Setup displays the message "Setup could not
- determine the type of one or more mass storage devices installed in
- your system, or you have chosen to manually specify an adapter,"
- press S to display a list of supported SCSI host adapters.
- 4. Select Other from the bottom of the list.
- 5. Insert the Drivers Disk you made when prompted to do so, and select
- your host adapter from this list. Note that in some cases, Windows
- NT Setup will repeatedly prompt you to swap disks.
-
- Windows NT will now recognize any devices attached to this adapter. Repeat
- this step for each host adapter not already recognized by Windows NT Setup.
-
- To install drivers from your drivers disk after running Windows NT version
- 4.0 Setup:
-
- 1. After installing the properly configured adapter in your machine,
- start Windows NT version 4.0 as normal.
- 2. Click Start, point to Control Panel, then open the SCSI Adapters
- program.
- 3. Select the Drivers tab, then click the Add button.
- 4. Click the Have Disk button, insert your drivers disk into Drive A:,
- and then click OK.
- 5. Highlight the desired driver from the list presented, and then click
- OK. Then, click Continue to load the driver.
- 6. You need to restart your Windows NT version 4.0 system to activate
- the driver. Click the Restart Computer button to shutdown and
- restart.
-
- Warning:
-
- If you are upgrading from Windows NT version 3.51, you must know the names
- of all SCSI adapters before running Setup. To view this list, open Windows
- NT Setup (in the Main program group in Windows NT version 3.51) and click
- Add/Remove SCSI Adapters on the Options menu. Record the names of all
- adapters on this list and keep them handy for use during Windows NT version
- 4.0 Setup.
-
-
- Network Adapter Drivers
- =======================================================================
-
- Microsoft provides network adapter drivers from third-party vendors on the
- Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server version 4.0 compact discs.
- These drivers, which are located in the \DRVLIB folder have all met
- specific standards of installation and operation.
-
- Most PCI, EISA, and MCA adapters in the \DRVLIB can be detected and
- successfully installed during Setup. Most ISA and PCMCIA adapters are not
- detected but can be installed manually during Setup.
-
- For ISA adapters that can be detected, two identical adapters cannot be
- detected during Setup. The adapter with the lowest I\O address will be
- detected, while the others will not. They can, however, be installed
- manually added. For multiprocessor systems, two identical ISA adapters may
- not be supported due to hardware limitations of the adapter. The NE2000 is
- an example of this limitation.
-
- Most network adapters in the \DRVLIB do not support the unattended answer
- file (unattend.txt) for use in automated installations of Windows NT.
- Exceptions are the IBM Auto 16/4 Token Ring Adapter, IBM AutoStreamer
- Token Ring adapters, IBM Token Ring LanStreamer PCI adapter, 3Com
- Etherlink III PCI adapters, and the Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B adapter.
-
- Some adapters may quit functioning if you upgrade from an earlier version to
- the Windows NT version 4.0. This can be caused by changes in the registry,
- such as adapter driver name changes, service dependency changes, or an
- obsolete network adapter driver. Removing the old driver and installing it
- again from the menu will correct the startup problem for adapters listed on
- the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). Xircom IIPS and Eicon ISDN are
- examples of adapters that must be reinstalled.
-
- Some adapters generate errors during Setup because the configuration
- settings cannot be verified. This can be caused by conflicting settings for
- interrupt and I/O addresses. The error can also be displayed if Setup
- calls an executable helper which sets up the configuration. If the adapter
- driver starts and connects to the network, the error can be ignored. If
- not, the error is an indication there are resource conflicts which will have
- to be fixed. The Intel E100B and IBM Streamer adapters are examples of
- drivers that use their own executable setup routines.
-
- Microsoft does not recommend the use of 8-bit network adapters with
- Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server. Support for these adapters
- is included in some cases due to customer requirements, but older hardware
- represented by this technology does not provide good performance or
- reliability.
-
- > Network PnP Mode
-
- PnP mode is not supported. Network adapters that support PnP mode must be
- reconfigured with a software setup utility provided by the manufacturer. This
- includes system board mounted network adapters, 3Com EtherLink III B
- models, and Standard Microsystems SMC8416 Ultra PnP adapters.
-
- > Bus-Master Adapters
-
- Bus-Master adapters are not supported on Motorola Power PC computers.
- These include the Proteon p1390, p1392, p1392plus, and IBM 4/16 Token
- Ring Adapter II. IBM Power PC systems are supported.
-
- > PCMCIA Adapters
-
- If your PCMCIA adapter does not start, or operates incorrectly, try using a
- different interrupt for the network adapter. Interrupts 2, 5, and 10 are
- often reserved on portable computers. In these cases, Microsoft recommends
- changing the interrupt to 3, 11, or 15. If the settings are changed during
- installation, the adapter will not start until installation is completed and the
- system is restarted. If you know the settings presented by Setup
- will cause a conflict, you can change them, but the adapter will not start
- until installation is completed and the computer is restarted.
-
- > Eicon WAN or the USR WAN (non-ISDN) Adapters
-
- During Setup, selecting any Eicon WAN or the USR WAN (non-ISDN) adapters
- will result in a dialog box that cannot be exited. This will cause the
- installation to fail because rebooting is necessary to recover. For these
- adapters, complete the installation and add the adapter later.
-
- > Xircom Corporate Series CreditCard Ethernet Adapter IIps
-
- Xircom Corporate Series CreditCard Ethernet Adapter IIps adapters will stop
- working if you upgrade from Windows NT version 3.51. Because the driver
- name changed for this adapter, and because of the subsequent effect on the
- registry, the IIps adapter must be manually removed and reinstalled.
-
- > Intel EtherExpress PRO/10P PCI LAN Adapter drivers
-
- If you install Windows NT version 4.0 from a network drive and have both
- an Intel EtherExpress PRO/10P PCI LAN Adapter driver and a PCI SCSI
- controller installed, Setup may indicate one or more files are corrupt when
- it verifies the copy from the temporary directory to the
- %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder.
-
- This problem occurs because the network adapter is not reset correctly when
- Setup warm starts the computer. You can avoid this problem by turning the
- computer off and then back on instead of allowing Setup to warm start the
- computer.
-
- > Digiboard PCIMAC and PCIMAC/4 ISDN Adapters
-
- Digiboard PCIMAC and PCIMAC/4 ISDN adapters do not always work correctly in
- multibus PCI-based computers.
-
- > NE2000 or Compatible Network Adapters
-
- Installing or upgrading to Windows NT 4.0 with a NE2000 or compatible
- network adapter set to an I/O address of 340 hex, may cause the system to
- hang when booting into text-mode Setup. If this occurs, either remove the
- NE2000 adapter or change its I/O address and restart Setup to continue the
- installation. The NE2000 will operate normally at I/O address 340 hex after
- Setup is complete.
-
- > AMD PCnet Adapters on Intergraph TD Workstations
-
- Detecting early versions of the AMD PCnet adapter can cause the system to
- hang. If this occurs, restart Windows NT Setup by rebooting the computer,
- select the AM1500T network adapter and set the configuration parameters
- manually to match the jumpers. Intergraph models TD-1, TD2 and TD-3
- are examples of computers with the early AMD adapter built onto the
- system board.
-
-
- Duplexing with the Compaq FastWide SCSI 2 EISA Controller
- =======================================================================
-
- If you utilize the Compaq FastWide SCSI 2 EISA controller and require
- duplexing with mirrored partitions, both controllers must be set to use
- 64 heads/32 sectors translation. The EISA partition and the operating
- system partition must both be located in the first 1024 cylinders. It is
- also recommended both drives posses the same SCSI ID number. By
- default, this is 0. Refer to the controller documentation or contact Compaq
- support for details on advanced configuration options.
-
- If the primary drive fails, it will be neccessay to move the shadowed drive
- to the first controller in order to restart the computer. An alternate solution
- is to change the controller boot order. Make the shadowed drive's controller
- the primary boot controller. Refer to the controller documentation or contact
- Compaq support for details on advanced configuration options.
-
-
- Winnt/Winnt32 Disk Space Errors
- =======================================================================
-
- Winnt.exe and Winnt32.exe will report an error if unable to find a drive
- with enough diskspace available, or if the drive specified with the /t
- switch has insufficient free disk space. If such an error occurs, you must
- free some disk space and then run Winnt or Winnt32 again.
-
- In some cases, Winnt and Winnt32 will not report a disk space error, but at
- some point during the file copy process, will report an error copying a
- file due to lack of disk space. This occurs when the drive to which the
- temporary directory, $win_nt$~ls, is being copied is formatted with a
- cluster of size 32KB or greater and has only the minimum free disk space
- allowed. If this error occurs, you must free additional disk space, and
- re-run winnt/winnt32.
-
- Running Windows NT Setup from MS-DOS 6.20 may cause invalid
- filename errors on files that start with an exclamation point. The
- error message can be ignored and the files can be skipped.
-
-
- HPFS File Systems
- =======================================================================
-
- Windows NT version 4.0 does not support the OS/2 File System (HPFS). You
- cannot access disks that are formatted with HPFS from Windows NT version
- 4.0. If you have a previous version of Windows NT installed on a disk
- formatted with HPFS, Setup cannot upgrade it to Windows NT version 4.0.
-
- You can use the Convert.exe program supplied with previous versions of
- Windows NT to convert disks formatted with HPFS to the Windows NT File
- System (NTFS). Windows NT version 4.0 Convert.exe does not provide this
- capability. Do not convert any disks you need to access when using other
- operating systems such as OS/2.
-
- Note:
- Convert.exe can convert only HPFS version 1.x drives smaller than 4
- gigabytes (GB). It fails on HPFS 2.x drives (those HPFS drives larger than 4
- GB).
-
-
- Windows Messaging
- =======================================================================
-
- Note
- The following information does not apply if you are running the Exchange
- Client for Microsoft Exchange Server.
-
- If you are a currently running Windows NT version 4.0 Beta 1 or Beta 2 and
- are using the Exchange Client, use the following procedure to remove

- version 4.0 Setup.
- 5. When prompted to select the type of installation, click Custom
- Setup.
- 6. On the Select Components page, select Windows Messaging (new
- name for Exchange in Windows NT version 4.0).
-
- If you are a Windows NT 4.0 Beta Exchange Client user and you have already
- installed Windows NT version 4.0 (final), you need to remove Exchange and
- reinstall Windows Messaging to ensure proper operation of the Messaging
- Client.
-
- To remove Microsoft Exchange and install Windows Messaging after upgrading

- 5. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- 6. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
- 7. On the Windows NT Setup tab, clear the Windows Messaging check box,
- and then click OK.
-
-
- Using Schedule+ 1.0 with Windows Messaging in NT 4.0
- =======================================================================
-
- Windows Messaging is designed to work with Microsoft Schedule+ version 7.0.
- When Windows Messaging is installed, you can still use Schedule+ 1.0 in
- standalone mode, but you will not be able to send or receive meeting requests.
-
- You are eligible for a free upgrade to Schedule+ 7.0. In the U.S.,
- call 1-800-360-7561. In Canada call, 1-800-933-4750. Outside the U.S.
- and Canada, contact your local dealer.
-
-
- Disable FPNW/DSMN for Windows NT Server version 3.51 Before Upgrading
- =======================================================================
-
- If you are performing an upgrade from Windows NT Server 3.51 with FPNW or
- DSMN services installed on the computer, these services are not compatible
- with Windows NT Server 4.0. Microsoft Services for NetWare will be released
- shortly for use with Windows NT Server 4.0. Prior to upgrading to Windows NT
- Server 4.0, disable these services by selecting Control Panel, Services. Select
- "File and Print Services for NetWare" or "Directory Service Manager for NetWare"
- from the list, click Startup then click Disabled. You should not attempt to reinstall
- FPNW or DSMN for Windows NT Server 3.51 on Windows NT Server 4.0.
-
-
- Upgrading DNS Servers
- =======================================================================
-
- Before upgrading a Windows NT version 3.51 Resource Kit DNS Server to
- Windows NT version 4.0, you need to delete some registry entries. For more
- information, see "To Upgrade a Windows NT 3.51 Resource Kit DNS Server" and
- "To Install a DNS Server" in TCP/IP Help.
-
-
- Upgrading WINS, DHCP, and RPL Databases
- =======================================================================
-
- The information in this section pertains only to Windows NT Server. When
- upgrading a Windows NT Server version 3.51 (or earlier) release to Windows
- NT version 4.0, the databases for WINS, DHCP, and RPL must be converted to
- the new database format. This is required because the services now use an
- improved database engine that is faster and that compacts automatically to
- prevent fragmentation and consequential growth of the database. The database
- conversion procedure occurs automatically as part of an upgrade
- installation.
-
-
- Removing Remotely Possible/32 Before Upgrading
- =======================================================================
-
- If you have Remotely Possible/32 version 2.0 or 2.1 installed on a computer
- running Windows NT version 3.51, you must uninstall Remotely Possible before
- installing Windows NT version 4.0. If you do not, Windows NT might not
- install correctly. You can uninstall Remotely Possible by running the
- Remove.bat file located on the Remotely Possible distribution disk. After
- you have upgraded to Windows NT version 4.0, you can reinstall Remotely
- Possible.
-
- For more information about running Remotely Possible/32 versions 2.0 and 2.1
- under Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server version 4.0, see the
- Remotely Possible/32 section in "Application Notes" in Readme.wri.
-
-
- Detecting and Disabling the Floating-Point Division Error
- =======================================================================
-
- Setup automatically detects the Intel Pentium floating-point division error.
- If the error is detected on your system, Setup prompts you to disable the
- floating-point hardware on the chip. If you choose not to have the
- floating-point hardware disabled during Setup, you can disable the hardware
- later with a command line utility called Pentnt.exe.
-
-
- Digital Alpha Systems
- =======================================================================
-
- If you are installing this release on a Digital Alpha system, please consult
- the Release Notes available from:
- http://www.windowsnt.digital.com/support/sysoft.htm
-
-
- Micron Computers
- =======================================================================
-
- If you encounter problems during Windows NT version 4.0 Setup on your Micron
- computer, upgrade your system BIOS to the latest BIOS version available from
- Micron.
-
-
- Displaying Setup on Laptop Computers
- =======================================================================
-
- During text mode setup, some laptops with the WDC 90C24 chipset may show
- some screen text distortion.
-
- Laptops support a mode that adds additional scan lines between rows of
- characters. This allows the entire LCD to be used when in 80x25 line text
- modes. However, when in 43 line text mode (the mode in which Windows NT
- Setup runs), the additional scan lines are forced off the bottom of the
- display. Certain laptop machines that start in this mode exhibit this
- behavior. Users encountering this problem will not be able to see the white
- instruction line on the bottom of the setup screen. This line indicates what
- keystrokes are used to exit and continue Setup. Continue with Setup and the
- video drivers will be reset upon entering the graphical (GUI) portion of
- Windows NT Setup.
-
-
- Disconnecting UPS Devices
- =======================================================================
-
- Disconnect the serial cable connecting an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
- device before running Setup. Windows NT attempts to automatically detect
- devices connected to serial ports, which can cause problems with UPS equipment.
-
-
- Intergraph G91 Display Adapters
- =======================================================================
-
- The Weitek-compatible display driver included with Windows NT version 4.0
- does not work with the Intergraph G91 display adapters. Contact Intergraph
- for an updated driver.
-
- To use Intergraph G91 display adapters with Windows NT version 4.0, run the
- G91 display driver provided with the Intergraph computer.
-
- To use Intergraph G91 display adapters with Windows NT version 4.0:
-
- 1. During the Windows NT version 4.0 Setup process, click Cancel when
- the Display Settings dialog box is displayed.
- 2. Once installation has been completed, load the drivers supplied with
- the Intergraph computer.
-
-
- Sound Blaster/SCSI Problems
- =======================================================================
-
- Sound Blaster/SCSI cards and PCI SCSI cards may display a blue screen
- reading INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE when performing a new installation or an
- upgrade. This occurs because the BIOS assigns the PCI SCSI card an interrupt
- that is already in use. If this occurs, physically remove the sound card
- before reinstalling, or remove the driver during text mode portion of Setup
- and then reinstall after the installation/upgrade is complete.
-
-
- Devices That Must be Manually Installed
- =======================================================================
-
- The following devices must be manually installed. Do not choose to have
- Windows NT version 4.0 Setup automatically detect them.
-
- ╖ E-Tech Pocket Fax/Modem
- ╖ Multi-tech Multimodem (various models)
- ╖ Penril modems (various models)
-
- The Modems option in Control Panel will close when you attempt to
- query these devices.
-
-
- Using Multiple Windows NT Installations on a Single Computer
- =======================================================================
-
- If you are installing Windows NT Workstation or Server version 4.0 on a
- computer already loaded with at least one other Windows NT installation,
- and if the computer participates on a Windows NT domain, you must use a
- different computer name and machine account for each Windows NT
- installation. This is because a unique security identifier (SID) is used for
- each installation of Windows NT on a domain.
-
-
- Using NTHQ If Setup Fails

- NTHQ detects the installed hardware components on x86-based computers. It
- was designed to assist Microsoft Product Support engineers when a computer
- does not boot or becomes unstable.
-
- To use NTHQ, run Makedisk.bat from the \support\hqtool directory on the
- Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server compact disc. Makedisk.bat
- creates a bootable floppy disk that you can use to start your computer and
- automatically run the diagnostic tool.
