Fix: In some situations, the Windows NT installation program may detect the
hard drive geometry incorrectly, and thus limit the initial drive partition size to
1024 MB or hang while rebooting. To correct this problem, perform one-not
both-of the following:
(Be sure to enable extended translation for SCSI controllers)
Before starting Windows NT installation, follow these steps:
A. Boot into MS-DOS.
B. Run FDISK and FORMAT on the boot partition under DOS.
C. Install Windows NT. During Windows NT Installation, you may delete
and resize the MS-DOS partition created previously.
Alternately:
In the Windows NT installation program:
A. Partition the primary partition to 1024 MB.
B. Format the primary partition using FAT.
C. Press F3 to quit the installation program.
D. Restart the installation program.
E. At the drive partition screen, delete the 1024 MB primary partition.
F. Partition the primary partition to any desired size up to the drive
capacity.
G. Continue with the Windows NT installation program.
2. If the Network Adapter driver fails to start or does not appear to be working
correctly, examine the Event Log for any driver diagnostic messages.
A. Start the Event Viewer applet in the Administrative Tools group in
Program Manager.
B. Search the Event Log Source column for any entries named "Hpddnd3."
C. Double click on the entry to examine the Event Detail dialog box. The
upper half of the box gives a short generic description of the error. The
lower half of the box is a hex and ASCII dump of error data.
D. Scroll through the error data in ASCII for any readable strings.
E. If a readable string is present, it will describe the problem in more detail.
F. If no readable string is present, this typically indicates that the driver
failed early in the process of loading-usually due to a resource conflict
(for example, an I/O port conflict).
NOTE Make sure the Network Adapter is connected to a working
hub and verify that the LED is lit. Otherwise, the Network
Driver may not install.
3. Configure and test the HP DeskDirect Adapter.
Reconnect power to the computer and boot DOS. Run the LAN adapter
configuration utility on the HP PCI LAN Adapter Support Disk. For example, if
