Is it possible to install NT by booting from the NT CD-ROM disc?
• Yes, the NT CD-ROM is bootable. If you have an IDE CD-ROM, go into the BIOS. For AMI BIOS, set the first boot device to CD-ROM, or the boot sequence to CD-ROM,C,A for Award BIOS. • If you’re using a SCSI controller, then it is recommended that you do the installation by using the three NT floppy disks (see below). I have a SCSI HDD and an IDE CD-ROM drive; I’m booting from the CD-ROM to install NT; but NT cannot find my SCSI HDD even though I’ve loaded the SCSI drives correctly. • Try booting from the NT setup disks, instead of booting directly off the CD-ROM drive. • For some configurations, booting off an IDE CD-ROM and installing to a SCSI drive will not work properly. How do I create the set of NT installation disks? • You need access to a system with a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. • Have three formatted disks ready, then insert the NT CD-ROM disc. Go to the C: prompt, and then go to [CD drive]\i386. • And type “winnt /ox” (without the double quotes) to create the set of disks. How d
