Installing Windows 98 (Full Install Version)
This section describes the steps to install Windows 98 (Full Installation
Version) on one disk drive or array group using a SmartRAID VI host
controller. Ensure that your hard drives, arrays, CD-ROM drive, and any
other SCSI device attached to the host controller are recognized by
SMOR before proceeding.
Do the following to install Windows 98 (Full Installation Version):
1.
Boot the system from a bootable DOS diskette.
2.
Run FDISK and create a Primary DOS Partition of an appropriate
size.
3.
Mark the Primary DOS Partition Active.
4.
Reboot the system from the DOS diskette.
5.
Perform a system format (FORMAT C: /S).
6.
Run the SETUPCD.EXE program on the DPT Windows NT
diskette. This program creates an AUTOEXEC.BAT file and
CONFIG.SYS file with support for your CD-ROM drive.
7.
Ensure that the MSCDEX.EXE program is in your boot path or
the root directory of the C: drive.
8.
Remove the boot diskette from the floppy disk drive and reboot
the system from the C: drive.
9.
Insert the Windows 98 Full Installation CD in the CD-ROM drive.
10. Enter the drive letter assigned to the CD-ROM and run SETUP
(for example, D:\SETUP).
11. Follow the Windows 98 installation prompts.
12. During one of the device detection boot processes, Windows 98
will identify PCI Card and/or Memory Controller devices. Click
Next and display the list of drivers from a specific location.
NOTE
If you are not prompted for a PCI Card or Memory Controller
Driver or the Device Manager shows PCI Card with a yellow
exclamation mark in the Other Devices list, you might need a
patch for your motherboard chipset to recognize multifunction
bridge controllers.
Contact your motherboard vendor and apply the patch. After the
patch is installed and the system is restarted, Windows 98 will
repeat the device discovery process. If you are installing the
operating system, go back to step 12 and continue the procedure.
If you are adding a SmartRAID VI to an existing configuration,
go to step 3 on page 47 and continue with the procedure.
