Error Messages While Setting Up Windows NT
"Setup is unable to locate the hard drive partition prepared by the
MS-DOS portion of setup"
or
"xxxx MB disk y at Id z on bus 0 on cdaudma.sys does not contain a
partition suitable for starting Window NT"
If these messages appear during Windows NT setup, do the following:
1
Reboot the system using the ARRAYCONFIG UDMA disk.
2
Run the ARRAYCONFIG UDMA utility to ensure that the
boot array includes the drive with the lowest SCSI target ID.
"Boot: Couldn't find NTLDR"
If this message appears when attempting to boot from the Windows
NT installation CD, boot from the Windows NT installation floppy
disks instead, and proceed to load Windows NT from the CD-ROM.
"No Accessible Boot Device"
When attempting to boot from the Windows NT installation CD, this
message indicates that the NT CD-ROM does not contain
Array1000UDMA drivers. To avoid this failure, try the following:
1
Reboot the Windows NT installation CD.
2
When the prompt "Setup is inspecting your computer system's
hardware" appears, press the F6 key repeatedly.
3
Windows NT will later prompt you for the Array1000UDMA
driver disk and the installation should continue as normal.
"Partition Size Too Large"
When installing Windows NT, this message appears if attempting to
create a system partition larger than 4 GBytes. Windows NT has a
maximum system partition size of 4096 MBytes. Create a partition that
is smaller than 4 GBytes and continue the Windows NT installation.
When Windows NT is completely installed, use the Windows NT Disk
Administrator to partition the remaining available space of the array.
