If NT boots from a SCSI disk the C drive has to have the a driver for the SCSI disk in its root directory in a file named NTBOOTDD.SYS. This is the same file that you need to load in the NT setup when you have a SCSI disk. This driver is NT-specific and adapter-specific. No got driver, no get boot. Where do I get NTBOOTDD.SYS? Is it created in the NT installation process? The driver for the Adaptec AHA 2940 U2W SCSI host adapter was not available in the NT load process. I got the following files from Adaptec AIC78U2.SYS OEMSETUP.INF TXTSETUP.OEM I put them on a floppy and the host adapter was then recognized by NT in the install process. The SCSI harddrive was still not recognized and NT would not install. Is this related to not having the NTBOOTDD.SYS file? Zeuspaul
