1.  WINDOWS NT WORKSTATION 4.0 BETA 1 FREQUENTLY ASKED
      QUESTIONS

QUESTION:
The mass storage device which I used under Windows NT
Workstation 3.51 is not available on Windows NT Workstation 4.0.

ANSWER:
If the driver was on the Windows NT Workstation install
diskette previously, check the release notes to see if the
driver is now located in the retired drivers directory.  Full
instructions for install are located in that directory.

If the driver was obtained from a third party site, please
contact the site to request drivers for Windows NT Workstation.


(REMINDER: Please Submit bug reports to:
ntbug@microsoft.com.  PLEASE DO NOT CALL
MICROSOFT.)
