- TITLE :Setup Hangs During SCSI Detection; Disabling SCSI Detection
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Windows NT Setup may fail during SCSI detection for a variety of
- reasons. In some cases, the SCSI-detection routine may conflict with
- the SCSI adapter, hindering further detection and sometimes even
- halting the installation. You may be able to avoid these problems by
- disabling some or all of the SCSI-detection phase of Windows NT Setup.
-
- HOW TO DISABLE THE SCSI-DETECTION ROUTINES
- ==========================================
-
- If you have a SCSI adapter, you can disable all the SCSI-detection
- routines except the one for your particular adapter by modifying the
- TXTSETUP.INF file on Disk 1 of your Setup disks. If you have no SCSI
- adapters, you can disable all the SCSI-detection routines.
-
- NOTE: Before you can modify TXTSETUP.INF, you need to make a backup
- copy of the first Setup disk since it is write-protected. To do so,
- choose Copy Disk from the Disk menu in File Manager (or use the MS-DOS
- DISKCOPY command). Make sure you use the same media type and density,
- and that you modify the copy of TXTSETUP.INF, not the original.
-
- Before you can disable any SCSI-detection routines, you need to know
- what type of computer you have: ISA, EISA, or MCA. There are three
- corresponding sections in the TXTSETUP.INF file:
-
- [SCSI.ISA.LOAD]
- [SCSI.EISA.LOAD]
- [SCSI.MCA.LOAD]
-
- Go to the appropriate section for your computer and disable all the
- SCSI routines you do not need by inserting the pound sign (#) in front
- of each line. For example, if you had an MCA computer and wanted to
- disable all the SCSI-detection routines, your [SCSI.MCA.LOAD] section
- would look like this:
-
- [SCSI.MCA.Load]
- #d0,ncr53c9x
- #d0,spock
- #d0,ncrc700
- #d0,ncrc710
- #d0,aha154x
- #d0,buslogic
- #d0,fd16_700
-
- After you make your changes, save the file and start Windows NT Setup
- again.
