Installing Microsoft Windows NT
Before installing Windows NT, do the following:
Read the Windows NT installation guide.

1 Insert the Windows NT CD-ROM into the external CD-ROM drive.
2 Go to the CD-ROM drive; then go to the \I386 directory. For example, if your CD-ROM drive letter is D, go to D:\I386
3 At the command prompt, type WINNT and press Enter.
For example, D:\I386>WINNT
Follow the instructions on the screen.
If your computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, use a network server, you can install Windows NT on multiple computers by first copying the Windows NT master source files to a shared drive on a network server. After connecting your computer to a network, such as with the DOS LAN requester, you can install the files from the network server to your computer at the DOS command prompt.
For more information, refer to the installation guide of Windows NT, Windows NT Version 4 Service Pack 3, or Windows NT Version 4 Service Pack 4.
