Windows NT 4.0 users

Windows NT can be installed several different ways. We recommend that Windows NT be installed using the below steps as we feel that these steps by far are the easiest way to install Windows NT 4.0.

First, we recommend that all users wanting to simply install Windows NT use the /b switch, which allows the users to not need to create the diskettes. We do, however, recommend that the user create the Emergency recover diskettes if they have not already been created after the installation of Windows NT.

Finally, before the installation of Windows NT, it is recommended that you run SMARTDRV, which will help the installation of Windows NT run a lot faster.

  1. Place the CD into the computer.
  2. Type X: (where x is the CD-ROM drive, generally this is D).
  3. Once at the appropriate drive, type CD WINNT and press enter to get into the Windows 95 directory.
  4. Once at X:\WINNT> type winnt /b.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
