Help with NT 3.1 Beta (NT OS/2)
(link to relevant WinWorld archives)
A while back I tried burning the .iso images of NT OS/2 3.10.404 and NT OS/2 3.10.438 to separate CDs, for use on my ThinkPad. It is a Pentium III, which I know the setup program won't like, but I had trouble initiating the setup program itself. I tried booting from the CDs (stuck at the black screen), then launching the .exe files from MS-DOS 6.22 (could not launch, something to do with the size being too big).
If I'm supposed to do an upgrade from an existing Windows version, which one should I use? Thanks.

Usually, starting the winnt from a DOS 5 or DOS 6 with cd-rom support should work fine.
Now, you can try Installing Windows 3.1 first then run Winnt from it.
