- I have just got the "Preliminary Win32 SDK" and am
- trying to install it through "graphical setup".
-
- My machine is an ALR BusinessVeisa 486/33 with
- 16 MB of RAM and a Prodesigner IIs EISA graphics
- card. I have a 1 GB SCSI hard drive and Sony
- CDU-541 CD-ROM drive connected to DPT's
- SmartCache 2012B SCSI controller with 4MB of
- cache on board. Even though that controller
- was not listed in the hardware compatibility list
- posted by Alistair, it was a very **sweet** surprise
- that when I tried to boot the system from the NT
- boot floppy, the Setup program looked *specifically* for
- DPT controller and found it (:-). So it asked me to pick
- a drive and started to copy its files there. When it
- finished and rebootedit first gave me a warning that
- EISA bus reported a wrong amount of memory, which I
- ignored as it has been advised by many people on the
- win32 list. but then it gave me an error
-
- Fatal error 0x00000069
-
- Phase 1 of init failed
- (my wording might not be exact, but the error number is 0x69)
-
- and hanged up.
-
- It is also odd that the Setup copied a lot of files with
- garbage filenames into winnt\config directory.
-
- **What is error 0x69 and how do I fight it? **
- I do have 25 MB free on drive C:\ where NT insists on
- putting its paging file.
-
- Also, how do I make Setup put my paging file on a drive
- other than c:?
-
- BTW, I don't have hardcopies of docs, so please don't
- refer me to them.
-
- P.S. I **did** succeed in installing NT manually
- (dos2nt.bat kept hanging up, so I just did it by hand)
- and it runs fine except for networking. The only hard
- drive I have is SCSI connected to DPT SCSI controller,
- so it must be supported. I also can see my CD-ROM
- from NT.
-
- Thanks for any help
