Windows NT

When Windows NT is installed via a bootable CD, the

 

 

Installation

devices on the MegaRAID will not be recognized until

 

 

 

after the initial reboot. The Microsoft documented

 

 

 

workaround is in SETUP.TXT:

 

 

 

SETUP.TXT is on the CD.

 

 

 

To install drivers when Setup recognizes one of the

 

 

 

supported SCSI host adapters without making the devices

 

 

 

attached to it available for use:

 

 

 

1 Restart Windows NT Setup.

 

 

 

2 When Windows NT Setup displays

 

 

 

Setup is inspecting your computer's

 

 

 

hardware Configuration...,

 

 

 

press <F6> to prevent Windows NT Setup from

 

 

 

performing disk controller detection. This allows

 

 

 

you to install the driver from the Drivers disk you

 

 

 

created. All SCSI adapters must be installed manually.

 

 

 

When Windows NT Setup displays

 

 

 

Setup could not determine the type

 

 

 

of one or more mass storage devices

 

 

 

installed in your system, or you

 

 

 

have chosen to manually specify

 

 

 

an adapter,

 

 

 

press S to display a list of supported SCSI host

 

 

 

adapters.

 

 

 

4 Select Other from the bottom of the list.

 

 

 

5 Insert the Drivers Disk you made when prompted

 

 

 

to do so and select MegaRAID from this list. In

 

 

 

some cases, Windows NT Setup repeatedly

 

 

 

prompts to swap disks. Windows NT will now

 

 

 

recognize any devices attached to this adapter.

 

 

 

Repeat this step for each host adapter not already

 

 

 

recognized by Windows NT Setup.
