Compaq DS20E - AlphaStation - 1 GB RAM User Manual page 57

Windows NT requires a partitioned and formatted hard disk drive. If your drive is
not partitioned or formatted, follow the instructions in Section 3.10 before installing
the Windows NT operating system.
Up to three versions of Windows NT can be resident in a system at one time.
If this is a new Windows NT installation, start with this procedure:
1. Use CMOS Setup to set the system date and time: start AlphaBIOS Setup,
select CMOS Setup, and press Enter.
2. Perform an express hard disk setup: return to the main AlphaBIOS Setup
screen, select Hard Disk Setup, and press Enter.
3. Perform an express hard disk setup by pressing F7 to enter Express Setup.
4. Continue the setup by pressing the F10 key.
5. Go to the procedure below.
This procedure is for all Windows NT installations:
Read these instructions carefully paying particular attention to step 5.
1. Put the Windows NT CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Start AlphaBIOS Setup, select Install Windows NT, and press Enter.
3. Windows NT 4.0 Setup incorrectly believes that it recognizes and supports the
unused onboard AIC-7895 SCSI controller and will load its driver unless it is
prevented from doing so. Your system's CD-ROM is connected to a SCSI
controller on the PCI bus and its driver must be loaded. To prevent the loading
of the driver quickly press F6 when the Windows NT banner displays
WRONG
(blue screen). If Windows NT autodetects the AIC-78xx and F6 was not pressed
at the right time, start over again. For further information, see the Windows NT
4.0 readme.txt file.
4. To select the appropriate driver:
a. Insert the AlphaServer DS20 Windows NT floppy into the floppy drive.
b. If step 3 was successful, Windows NT Setup will announce that it cannot
determine the type of one or more mass storage controllers, press 'S' to
specify an additional controller.
c. From the list, choose "Other." The floppy's list will appear.
d. Choose the "Adaptec AIC-78xx PCI SCSI Controller (NT4.0)."
Follow the prompts to complete the installation. For more information on installing
Windows NT, refer to the Installation Guide in your Windows NT software package.
