5-8
For Windows-NT 4.0 users, it is always not recommended to change your hardware
configuration after your first installation. However, if such a change is needed,
please note that sometimes Windows-NT 4.0 will stop loading and prompt you with
a whole page of error messages. Please note that reinstallation of this NT hard disk is
inevitable. You have to backup your data stored in this hard disk because it is almost
impossible to switch back this system unless booting up with another hard disk. If
this NT hard disk is installed with FAT16 disk format, please boot up your system
with any Windows OS. You will be able to see this NT hard disk and retrieve any
data you are interested in. However, if this NT hard disk is installed with NTFS disk
format, there is only OS on an NTFS partition that will allow you to retrieve this NT
hard disk again.
