Hello,

I may have the solution for you:
Wen you try to install NT4 it probably doesn't have the drivers for your 
Adaptec yet. So first put the drivers of this card onto a floppy.
(I am assuming you know how to partition your drive and the adaptec bios can 
find your disk?)
- Now boot your system from the NT4 cd
- When the initial boot screen (black and white screen, prior to blue 
screen) 
appears and shows the message "Setup is inspecting your hardware 
configuration" (shows for about 3 seconds so be on the alert) press F6.
- In the setup screen that will appear you will see your IDE drivers, now 
select that you want to add a driver.
- Select other and install the driver from your floppy
- After that continue installing NT4

Good luck!
