PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS: This tip applies to IBM IntelliStation M-Pro systems equipped with an Adaptec AIC-7895 SCSI controller. The condition is seen when the supplied WindowsNT CD is used to install WindowsNT on a new fixed disk drive, or to reinstall WindowsNT on a reformatted fixed disk drive. The condition applies to the supplied WindowsNT 4.0 CD marked "For Distribution Only with a New PC" which is bootable.

The installation diskettes can be created from the supplied WindowsNT 4.0 CD by entering the following command from the \I386 directory on the WindowsNT 4.0 CD: "winnt /ox" (without quotations).
