[RESOLVED] Want to install old NT4 using new CD-ROM

[isisdave]

Hello all,

I've built a new system (PIII-733, 133Mb bus, 128MbRAM, Maxtor 30Gb drive, and Lite-On CD52 Ultra E-IDE cdrom drive.

I can boot from my NT4 CDROM, and it loads stuff until the screen identifying the version, build, memory, etc. comes up. Then it hangs.

If I boot from the floppies, it chugs along fine until it has identified the CDROM drive. Then, I think, it attempts to load stuff from the CDROM and hangs.

The disks are from 1966 (original 4.0) and probably what I need is a new atapi driver. When installing from the floppies, there is an opportunity to skip automatic device recognition and supply a device driver on diskette. What do I need, and where can I get it?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Just a suggestion
Try copying the NT folder to the harddrive in DOS then remove the CDROM altogether rebbot and run the full install from hardrive to see if its the CD at fault.
