INSTALLATION
4 – 29
Windows NT 4.0 Users
If the cylinder reduction jumper is installed, Windows NT 4.0 will not work with MaxBlast Installation Software (ver.
9.00M or newer) and the drive capacity will be limited to 2.1 GB. If the cylinder reduction jumper is not installed,
Windows NT 4.0 will work with MaxBlast.
Microsoft recommends that Windows NT 4.0 only be installed on a system that has a BIOS which supports drives larger than
2.1 GB.
