Running the Windows NT Setup program
If the Setup program has not already been run, it will appear when you
start the computer. The program will prompt you to make choices or type
information as required. If you need more detailed information than that
which is provided in the following notes, refer to your Windows NT
manual.
Notes:
1. The Setup program that appears when you start the computer is
slightly different from the one described in your Windows NT manual.
Some choices described in your Windows NT manual do not appear
because they are preset.
2. During the Setup procedure, you must indicate that you accept the
Windows NT license agreement and, when prompted, type the Product
ID number from your Certificate of Authenticity. The Certificate of
Authenticity is attached to the front cover of your Windows NT
manual.
3. After the Setup procedure is completed and the computer is restarted,
when prompted, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to display the log-on window.
After the log-on procedure is completed, the Windows NT desktop
appears. If you have installed Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0x (refer to
page 7), an Internet Explorer window appears on the desktop.
4. Your hard disk has a 2 GB partition (referred to as drive C). This
partition contains Windows NT and the other preinstalled software.
The remaining hard disk space has been left unformatted, so that you
can format and partition it as you wish. (Note that this remaining disk
space cannot be used until you partition it.)
The hard disk can be divided (partitioned) into multiple logical drives
(such as C, D, and E). If you want to install another operating system,
it can be installed into a separate primary partition.
5. At your earliest opportunity, make the Windows NT Emergency Repair
Disk. It is important that you make this diskette, which can be used for
recovery purposes. If you add features to your computer, make a new
Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk to ensure that the diskette reflects
your current system configuration. Additional information about
creating and using the diskette is in your Windows NT manual.
