I have a dual-boot system, Win 98 and WinNT 4.0 English version.
The other night I was trying to install NT 4.0 Korean version and
couldn't get it to work.
After copying setup files to local hard drive, it reboots and after
OSloader, blue screen comes out with typical NT starting window look,
with memory, NT build # and so on.  Then BAM, INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE
on the dreaded blue screen.

I've done CD install from Win 98, and NT 4.0, and also from DOS.  Did
not help.
I suspect it's related to hard disk or disk controller.  Tried taking
out all prepherals except video card, re-seating memory, CPU etc...
Any suggestion???  My Win 98 and NT (english) works fine.
It's a Dell XPS-T500 system with Intel SE440BX-2 mobo (according to
Intel's BIOS # match, that is...)
Got no SCSI hard, just IDE Ultra ATA.
Thanks y'all.

Doug
