- OK. I tried to boot the now infamous NT-bearing hard disk on my 386DX/40
- with 16megs of RAM.
-
- It won't start.
-
- It must have been so corrupted from all those crashes the other day
- that now I must re-install it.
-
- OR......does it not like the AMD 386 CPU? Anyone know if MS and Intel
- have "fixed" NT so that it doesn't work with AMD CPU's?
- I know MS has knobbled NT so that it won't install with OS/2 (though
- there is an easy work-around), so the idea isn't all that far-fetched.
-
- Any comments? Stuffed disk? or more crippled software from MS?
