First:  Hi all U ppl
Second: Excuse me for my bad english hehehhehe
[U can swap the First and Second items as U want ;o) ]
My goal is to install Win NT 4.0 Workstation in dualboot with a previous
Win'95 O/S on my dual PII Workstation.
I've tryed both starting setup under Win'95 and/or booting directly
from the NT CD.
In both cases - after a normal setup prompt - the setup lock in a blue
screen with this prompt:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----|
"Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation [build 13andsomething]" |
"1 Processor (384Mb RAM) Kernel multiprocessor"                         |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hear the SCSI HDD spinning for a lot.... and then...... nothing!!!!
The keyboard don't work.... and I must hard-reboot the sys.
The prob - for now - is not the correct dual proc recognition
(in many cases - reading a lot of newsgropus - after a complete
installation procedure and rebooting, NT recognize correctly
all the processors....We'll see ...)
The real prob.... now... is... "TO COMPLETE THE SETUP"!!!

THIS IS MY HW CONFIG:
-----------------------------------
-Processors: 2 Pentium II at 333Mhz
-Mainboard: Double Pentium II with APIC I/O module inserted
            for dual process[or][ing] (the main board is from "Main Board"
?????
            Yes.... I know... sure... is a unwellknowed cheap factory i
think...
            but... i got no more money.... You know heheheheh)
            The mainboard's switches are setted for the multi-proc job
-RAM:       3 x 128Mb (384Mb)
-HDD's:     2x EIDE UDMA 33 and 2x UWSCSI Cheethaa 9 + 4,5 Gb 10.000 rpm
            (controller SCSI Adaptec AHA 2940 UW)
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------|
|  NOTE: all the HDD's are FAT 16 multi-partitioned at 2Gb ...so they are|
|        good for both  Win'95 and NT r/w
|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------|
-CD-ROM : EIDE 24x
-CD-RW: YAMAHA EIDE 2x4x6x (firmware 1.0g)
-Graphic board: Matrox Millenium II G200 AGP 1.0 8Mb
-DigitalVideo and NLE Board: MiroVideo DC30plus
-HD audio recorder: Eventide LAYLA (running only under Win'95)
-Audio Board: Creative SB AWE 64 Gold
The actual O/S is Win '95 OSR2 with USB support (the 'C' release)
This config work fine with all the app's.... but under Win'95
I can't use the 2xPII enanchement.... so... I need to install
WinNT 4.0 Workstation
Please..... help!!!.... heelllpp!!! HEEELLLLLPPPPPP!!!!
TNX in adv. and bye!
