Creating the Windows NT Installation Diskettes


  Windows NT requires three installation diskettes and the AdvanSys driver
  diskette described below. If you do not have these three Windows NT
  installation diskettes, they can be created from DOS or from Windows NT,
  using WINNT.EXE or WINNT32.EXE. With the /ox parameter, WINNT and WINNT32
  can be found on the Windows NT installation CD.


Installation New Windows NT system

 Windows NT 4.0 CD ROM Installation


  Though Windows NT 4.0 is bootable from  a CD, the latest AdvanSys driver is
  not embedded on the original Microsoft CD.  Therefore, do not attempt to
  install the AdvanSys drivers directly from the Microsoft CD.	 Instead,
  follow these instructions:

  Step 1.  Create an NT 4.0 installation diskette by following the instructions
  in the preceding paragraph titled, "Creating the Windows NT Installation
  Diskettes".

  Step 2.  Reboot (restart) your computer with the diskettes created in the
  previous instruction ( see step 1.) in your boot drive, probably drive A.

  Step 3. When the installation program asks for a device driver, click on the
  "Have Disk" button.

  Step 4. Insert the AdvanSys "PCI ISA Universal Driver 2.6" diskette in Drive A,
  and press enter (return).  The AdvanSys drivers will now be loaded into your
  system.

  Step 5.  Restart your system in the normal way and it will begin the
  configuration process.  NT will tell you when it has finished.

Windows NT 3.51 Installation


  At the end of the diskette phase of a new Windows NT installation, you will
  be asked whether you want to: Specify Additional Driver. Answer 'yes' by
  selecting S. A list of drivers will be presented. From this list, select
  "Other". When asked to enter a diskette, insert the Windows NT AdvanSys
  Universal Driver diskette.

  After you find the AdvanSys driver on the diskette, select its name and click
  the mouse button. The driver will then be loaded and will search for an
  AdvanSys SCSI adapter installed in the system.

  If an AdvanSys SCSI adapter is found and the driver is successfully loaded,
  Windows NT will display a message indicating that the driver was loaded.
  After this message is displayed, press Enter to continue the installation.
