4-3. Windows NT 4.0 Installation
Note
#
Before you start to install Windows NT 4.0, you have to create a driver disk for the
Hot Rod 100 Pro. You can copy the Ultra ATA/100 (Hot Rod 100) driver files from
the CD-Title that comes with this controller card. The path for the Ultra DMA/100
driver files is “E:\drivers\winnt (E is your CD-ROM drive letter).”
#
Please note two things before you copy the driver files to diskette. First, the driver
files must be copied to the root directory of the diskette. Second, you have to set
your system to “Show all files”. Otherwise you will be unable to copy some
important system files to diskette.
Installing drivers during Windows NT installation:
If the NT 4.0 is first installed on the ATA100 drive connected to the Hot Rod 100 Pro
controller card, follow the following installation procedure:
Step 1:
Install this IDE RAID controller card in any available PCI slot and then connect
your ATA100 hard disk to it (refer to hardware installation).
Step 2:
Set your system to boot from “
Drive A
” and then insert the Windows NT
installation diskette 1/3. Power on your computer.
