Installing Windows NT 3.51 WS
For Your Information
You must install an operating system before you can use your new
HP Vectra XW Personal Workstation. This document explains how to
install Windows NT 3.51 WS.
You will find all necessary drivers on the
HP Vectra XU/XW Drivers
and Documentation
CD-ROM. The latest versions of all the drivers
(and the corresponding installation notes) can be obtained from the
HP BBS and from the HP Access World Wide Web page.
1. Basic Installation
First install Windows NT without network functionality and in VGA
mode. Once you have Windows NT up and running, refer to step 2 for
an explanation of how to install full functionality with OpenGL graphic
acceleration, sound, and network drivers, and how to obtain best
stability and performance with HP provided and qualified drivers for
mass storage devices.
Preparing to Install Windows NT
Before installing Windows NT Workstation 3.51 you will need:
•
XU/XW Drivers and Documentation
CD-ROM
and
XW Boot
diskette (supplied with your system)
•
one blank, formatted, diskette.
You will need to copy some important files (system drivers) from the
CD-ROM to a blank diskette before attempting to install Windows NT:
1
Use the MS-DOS
DISKCOPY
command to make a
duplicate
copy of
the “XW Boot” diskette onto the blank diskette, then store the
original “XW Boot” diskette in a safe place.
2
Label the
duplicate
diskette: “XW Boot” diskette.
3
Insert the
duplicate
“XW Boot” diskette in your system’s flexible
disk drive and insert the “XU/XW Drivers and Documentation” CD-
ROM disk in the CD-ROM drive.
