__________________________ Note ____________________________

On the Intel platform, some monitors are unable to display the refresh rate used during a short period of the initial installation of Windows NT 4.0 when using the PowerStorm 300. This occurs after the first part of a fresh installation of Windows NT following the period when the files are copied to the hard drive, but before Windows NT displays the first full color display screen. If you have chosen to use NTFS as your file system you may need to press the Enter key during the period while the screen is black to begin the process of converting the file system from FAT to NTFS.
