Windows NT Server Setup

=======================

Setup has determined that your computers startup disk is new or has been erased, or that an operating system is installed on your computer with which Windows NT cannot coexist.

If such an operating system is installed on your computer, continuing

Setup may damage or destroy it.

If the hard disk is new or has been erased, or you want to discard its current contents, you can choose to continue Setup.

. To continue Setup, press C. WARNING: Any data currently on your computer′ s startup hard disk will be permanently lost.

Windows NT Setup

================

Setup is unable to locate the hard drive partition prepared by the

MS-DOS portion of Setup.

When you run the MS-DOS Windows NT Setup program, you must specify a temporary drive that is supported by Windows NT. See your System Guide for more information.

Setup cannot continue. Press F3 to exit.

These panels appear because the incorrect command line parameters were used when the installation disks were created for the CD-ROM installation. You have boot-up diskettes that have been created using the /X or command line parameters. These startup diskettes fail at this point because they are expecting the installation process to have been started from a network drive or directly from the CD-ROM after booting from DOS. If started in this fashion, Windows NT creates two temporary directories on the temporary partition and expects to be able to access the hard drives where the temporary installation files have been transferred to. At this point, Windows NT has not loaded the device drivers needed to access the RAID controller.
