- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1

- Summary:
-
-
- You may encounter the following error:
-
- AERead: Status=00002001
- Boot I/O Reading Disk
-
- or your machine may hang if you run Windows NT on an IBM PS/2 model
- 95. These problems may be caused by an error in the IBM PS/2 model 95
- XP 486 Reference Disk version 1.20.
-
- IBM has verified this to be a problem with the reference disk and is
- currently working on an update.
-
- More Information:
-
- On many IBM PS/2 models, hardware support and diagnostic code is
- installed from the reference disk to a reserved area of the fixed
- disk. Depending on the reference disk used to set up a given machine,
- some PS/2 95s may exhibit the problem and others may not. Just
- switching to a reference disk from a machine which works does not
- solve the problem since the reference disks are matched to processor
- cards specific to any given machine.
-
- The coding error in version 1.20 of the PS/2 model 95 XP reference disk
- may also cause erroneous memory readings if you execute the MS-DOS
- MEM command on a system set up with this reference disk.
