Section 3. Troubleshooting

The following is a list of known problems and workarounds with Microsoft Windows
NT.
1. If the boot drive is new or just initialized, Windows NT may give a warning
message about disk drives having more than 1024 cylinders during the first
reboot from the hard drive. Windows NT may hang just after the SCSI BIOS
or Disk Array BIOS banner.
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 solutions:
Solution 1:
(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 to create the primary boot partition.
C. Install Windows NT. During Windows NT Installation, you may delete
and resize the MS-DOS partition created previously.
Solution 2:
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."
