Installing the Software Driver for Windows NT
Windows NT Installation and Configuration Notes
Windows NT 1 GByte Partition Limitation
During Windows NT installation, if your system configuration has
multiple arrays and/or single drives, Windows NT limits the size of
the system partition you can create to 1 GByte. To work around this
1 GByte limitation, try the following:
■
During Windows NT installation, create the 1 GByte partition
(do not finish setup); reboot the system and then delete the
partition. This allows Windows NT Setup to create a system
partition larger than 1 GByte, but limited to 4 GBytes or 1024
cylinders of data, whichever is less.
or
■
Using MS-DOS, create a partition using fdisk . During Windows
NT installation, delete the partition created with MS-DOS. This
allows Windows NT Setup to create a system partition larger
than 1 GByte, but limited to 4 GBytes or 1024 cylinders of data,
whichever is less.
If Windows NT Setup Hangs
During Windows NT installation, the system may hang while the
Windows NT Setup floppy disk is being used to copy the SCSI disk
device driver. A workaround is to boot from a DOS boot disk, create
a DOS partition on the array using
fdisk , and then install Windows
NT on the array.
Windows NT Disk Administrator
When creating a new array on a system running under Windows
NT, the array is not listed as “usable” in the NT Disk Administrator
until it is initialized. This is normal Windows NT functionality.
