When Trying to install Windows NT4 Server.. I get this, I formatted the hard drive, and i had SME Server Linux on it just now, and before that Windows 2000, so anyone kno what can be the problem? Thanks

You're doing it from the CD right? Perhaps try running the 2000 Recovery Console and FIXBOOT and FIXMBR.

Bash

from a 2000 disk... I need to find it again... But is there any other way from a Windows 95 Bootdisk?

Q

If you don't mind having to reinstall Windows NT4, try FDIKS /MBR and then reinstall Windows.

It wouldn';t install in the first lace, so I will try that

I forgot that NT4 doesn't support FAT32!!

Bash

Ok it is working, here are my steps
A: Floppy Drive
R:\Server CDROM Path with NT4 Svr

A:\fdisk

Press n

Create partition of 2GB

Restart COmputer
Format C:
Lock C:
R:\Server winnt /b

and it works, well just installing now, but i will tell how it works out!

Q

Sorry, I got thrown off by 2000, I thought you were installing that and forgot about NT4s limitations.

Ok it now works, and am setting it as a domain controller (just wanna see what it is like )

heh, i use NT 3.51 server as my domain controller...... i wonder if there is much difference between NT 4's features and NT 3.51's for domains... liek permissions and such

Bash

I don't really know... I havent tried both... But now I have to find display adapter drivers and network adapter drivers (gotta find that Network drivers disk somewhere)
