Step 2: Select
"BIOS FEATURE SETUP" after you enter BIOS setup
utility. Then set the "Boot Sequence" as "CDROM,C,A"
(refer to figure below).
After you finished the setting, please remember to save
it.
NOTE
If you have a SCSI CDROM, you have to set the "Boot
Sequence" as "EXT,C,A" and the "Boot
Sequence EXT Means" as "SCSI" in
the "BIOS Features Setup"
Step 3: Insert the Windows NT installation
CD (must be bootable) into your CD-ROM. press the "F6"
key immediately when the message "Setup is inspecting your computer's
hardware configuration..." appears.(refer to figure
below).
Step 4: press "S" to specify an additional
device (Ultra ATA/66 IDE controller).
(refer to figure below)
Step 5: press "ENTER"
to select "Others"(refer to figure below)
Step6: Insert the Ultra ATA/66 Driver diskette into driver "A"
and press "ENTER"
(refer to figure below)
Step 7: press "ENTER"
to select "HighPoint Technology Inc. HPT 366 IDE
controller." (refer to figure below).
Step 8: press "ENTER"
to continue Windows NT 4.0 installation.
(refer to figure below)
If you have followed the steps described above, you should be finished
installing your Ultra ATA/66 IDE controller. For the rest of Windows NT
installation steps, please follow the instructions displayed in the NT
setup program.
Step 9: After the first stage installation
of Windows NT 4.0 is finished, you will need to restart your computer. Please
enter the BIOS setup utility again when your system is rebooting (refer
to step 1). Select "BIOS FEATURE SETUP" after you
enter BIOS setup utility. Then set the "Boot Sequence"
as "EXT,C,A" and the "Boot Sequence EXT
Means" as "UDMA66."(refer to figure
below)
NOTE
Don't remove your Windows NT installation
CD after the first reboot because Windows NT setup is not finished yet and
still needs to copy files from the CD-ROM.
Step 10: After you have finished Windows NT installation
and entered Windows NT, you can enter "Control Panel"
à "SCSI Adapters".
If the Ultra ATA/66 IDE controller is installed correctly, you will see
the figure on the below.
NOTE
- If you boot from a floppy and type "WINNT/B"
to install the Windows NT 4.0, the installation steps are similar to
the above steps. You only have to pay attention to two things. Firstly,
don't format your hard disk with the FAT32 file system. Otherwise, you
will not be able to install Windows NT. Secondly, after the files have
been copied to the hard disk, the system will reboot. On the reboot,
press "F6" immediately when the message "Setup
is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration..."
appears.
- If you install a general drive to IDE1 (or IDE2) and
an Ultra ATA/66 drive to IDE3 (or IDE4), we suggest you don't format
your general drive with FAT32 file system. Otherwise, you will encounter
some problems when you install Windows NT on Ultra ATA/66 drive because
the Windows NT have to write some data to the drive that connect to
the IDE connector. But Windows NT can't access the drive that format
with FAT32 file system.
