Step 10:  Operating system installation tips

After the drive has been formatted, install an operating system.  You may encounter some of the following
issues.

Windows® 95 / Windows® 98

Windows® 95 must be version OSR2 or later to support a drive larger than 8.4 GB.

       In Windows® 98 the system may hang-up when trying to self-restart. Reset or power cycle          
       required.

OS/2 and OS/2 Warp

OS/2 Warp 4.0 with Fixpack 5 only sees 7.9GB of the drive.  The OS/2 development team is working
on this problem and plans to have a fix available.

Windows® NT

With Windows® NT 5.0, Ontrack® Disk Manager is not required.  However, when creating partitions, a
reboot is required after each partition is created.  After the partitions are created with Disk Manager,
they must be formatted from a command prompt.  Some systems require that the installation drive for
Windows® NT 5.0 must be partitioned and formatted before installing NT 5.0

     Windows® NT 4.0(service pack 3) may not see the full capacity of the larger drives.  To fix this, you 
     may download a “hotfix” from Microsoft’s® web site.  

Novell Netware

      Novell only sees 7.9GB of the drive. Novell is working on a fix to this limitation.

Note: Overclocking of the PCI bus is not recommended.
