IBM PC730/PC750 - System hang installing Windows NT from CD ROM
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
IBM PC 700 Series systems 6876 and 6886 may exhibit a system hang condition while installing Windows NT version 3.51 from and IDE CDROM drive.
Problem Isolation Aids:
The IDE CDROM drive is installed on the primary IDE connector on the system board as the slave drive behind the primary IDE hardfile.
This failure does not occur if the CDROM drive or the primary hardfile is SCSI.
Fix:
To install Windows NT version 3.51 from a CDROM, the following two steps are required:
1. Copy files ABIOS.SYS and SF83900.BIO from the Reference Diskette to the root directory of the boot drive (C: ).
2. Remove the CDROM drive from the primary hardfile connector and install it on the secondary connector on the system board. Set the jumper on the IDE CDROM for slave.
Windows NT should now install properly. The CDROM may be replaced as the slave drive on the primary connector after the installation is complete.
If the failure persists, use normal support channels for assistance.
Note:
Windows NT is a trademark of the Microsoft Corporation
