Note: You must complete this sequence to prepare a setup folder for Windows
NT SP6a.
1. Download the NT4SP6a SP from the Microsoft website.
2. On any Windows system, run the executable.
3. When you are prompted for a folder to extract files, select or create one and
continue the installation process.
Warning: If an error displays, do not close the form.
4. Go to folder with the extracted files and copy all files to a new location. Now, you
can use this location for the setup folder.
5. Target disk adapters for NT4 can be SCSI or IDE.

• If you migrate to SCSI, you will need a buslogic.sys driver, which is in the
distribution of NT4; not in the SP. Manually copy the driver from NT4
distribution to the setup folder or copy the setup folder to the
distribution location.
