Abstract: WINDOWS NT 4.0 INSTALL HALTS ON INTELLISTAITON M-PRO (6898)

 SYMPTOM:
 During the installation of retail WindowsNT 4.0, or reinstalling
 WindowsNT 4.0 from the supplied CDROM (marked "For Distribution
 Only with a New PC") the installation halts after Mass Storage
 Device Detection with the following, or similar message:

 "Windows NT Setup did not detect any mass storage devices in
  your system. The installation is halted. Press F3 to exit"

 PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
 This tip applies to the IBM IntelliStation M-Pro, Machine Type
 6898, equipped with SCSI hardfiles.

 The halted installation results from the absense of Adaptec
 7800 SCSI device drivers on both the retail and IBM supplied
 WindowsNT 4.0 installation CDROM's.

 FIX:
 After inserting the second WindowsNT installation diskette,
 the Setup program prompts the user that it is about to begin
 Mass Storage Device Detection.

 At this point, the user must press "S" to skip detection.
 Press <Enter> when "Other (Requires disk provided by hardware
 manufacturer)" is highlighted in the dialog box and insert the
 Adaptec 7800 Family Manager Set diskette that is provided with
 the system.

 The Adaptec SCSI driver diskette can be created from the
 Ready-To-Configure (RTC) CDROM included with the system.
 The required diskette is created by building the "Adaptec
 7800 Family Manager Set" disk via the Diskette Factory
 utility on the RTC.

 In the event the CD-ROM drive is inaccessible on the target
 system, in most instances, the RTC can be taken to a system
 with an operating CDROM drive and the Adaptec driver disk
 created there. Running IBMSETUP.EXE on the RTC will start
 the utility to run the Diskette Factory.
 After the installation is complete, the user may be required
 to download and reinstall WindowsNT Service Pack 3.

 WindowsNT 4.0 Service Pack 3 can be downloaded from the
 Microsoft Internet site at the following URL:
