- TITLE :Setup From CD Might Fail On The Compaq SystemPro XL
- 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
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- Setting up Windows NT or Windows NT Advanced Server from the CD-ROM
- drive on the COMPAQ SystemPro XL with the embedded SCSI controller IRQ
- set to 2(9) will make the computer stop responding (hang) at the
- status message "Running CHKDSK" after Setup has formatted the
- newly-created partitions.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- The COMPAQ SystemPro XL with an embedded SCSI controller is detected
- as a NCR53c9x during setup. If the CD-ROM drive is connected to this
- controller, there is a known problem if the controller is configured
- in the EISA configuration using IRQ 2/9.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- Reconfigure the controller to use any other unused IRQ such as 5.
-
- To reconfigure the controller to use another IRQ, do the following:
-
- 1. Run the COMPAQ EISA Configuration Utility.
-
- 2. Choose Configure Computer.
-
- 3. Choose View Or Edit Details.
-
- 4. Press the PAGE DOWN key or the DOWN ARROW key to select Controller.
-
- 5. Press the F6 key to "Edit resources."
-
- 6. Change "Interrupt (IRQ)" from 2(9) to an unused interrupt. (5 is
- often unused).
