SYMPTOMS
When you install Windows NT 3.51, the following error message appears:
Setup is unable to locate the hard drive partition prepared by the
MS-DOS portion of Setup.
This symptom occurs if your boot drive is connected to a QLogic PCI SCSI
host adapter that is the primary device controller on your computer.
CAUSE
Windows NT Setup does not automatically detect the QLogic PCI SCSI host
adapter.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:
- If your SCSI host adapter is the primary device controller, reinstall
Windows NT 3.51 and skip the mass storage device detection. Then install
the correct driver for your SCSI host adapter (QL10WNT.SYS) by selecting
it from the list of drivers provided by Setup .
-or-
- If your SCSI host adapter is the secondary device controller, continue
with Setup and add the correct SCSI driver later by running Windows NT
Setup from the Program Manager Main group.
