Most ISPs provide a packet of information when you subscribe to their
service. This information, in most cases, contains detailed instructions for
configuring your computer to connect to their service. Most ISPs allow you
to use Windows Dial Up Networking to make the connection to the ISP.
Generally it is a good idea to contact the specific ISP if you are having
difficulties connecting.
Question:
I have a very large hard drive and I'm using Windows NT 4.0. I am trying to
use the smallest number of partitions possible. How large can I make my
bootable partition?
Answer:
The largest bootable partition in Windows NT 4.0 is 4 GB. This is true if you
format with FAT or NTFS. When you create the partition during
Windows NT setup, the system is running in DOS Real Mode which allows
4 GB as the maximum partition size.
Question:
My CD-ROM drive is not reading any CD's. How can I get it to work?
Answer:
The CD may not be properly seated in the CD tray. There are retaining clips
built into the CD spindle. When you place a CD into the CD-ROM drive,
ensure you press the CD firmly onto the spindle so the retaining clips hold the
CD in place.
Question:
