Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
The first time you turn on your computer, Microsoft Windows
NT Workstation is automatically installed for you. This takes
approximately 30 minutes, depending on your system hardware
configuration. At the beginning of the installation process, you
may be prompted to an operating system and/or a language for
the operating system. Read and follow the instructions that
appear on the screen to complete the installation.
CAUTION:
Once the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT
TURN OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE.
Turning off the computer during the installation process might
damage the software that runs the computer.
When the Welcome to Windows screen is displayed, the
Windows installation process is complete.
Installing or Upgrading Device Drivers for Windows NT
Workstation 4.0
If you wish to install hardware devices after the operating
system installation is completed, the operating system needs
access to the appropriate software drivers for the devices.
The I386 directory and its subdirectories provide the Compaq-
specific integration of the operating system for your computer
model and include supported device drivers.
When prompted for the I386 directory, replace the path
specification with C:\I386 or use the browse button of the dialog
box to browse the computer for the I386 folder. This points the
operating system to the appropriate drivers and allows
installation of the hardware device.
