Subject: Blue screen of death during installtion.
I decided to format my whole hard drive and change it to FAT 16.  I copy
the
i386 directory to my hard disk, ran "lock c:", then "winnt /b".
Everything goes
well at first until setup reboots.  During the blue screen phase, when
setup
tells you how many processor you're running and how much ram you have, I
get the
"blue screen of death". Do you know what's happening?  It tells me to go
to
control panel or run "/crashdebug". Also when I try to install directly
from the CD-ROM, setup never detects my Hard Disk. This may have
something to do with the blue screen of death. Thanks, Henry.

... but I should have 'cause it works. The ATAPI.SYS from servicepack 4
can deal with drives larger than 8.4 GB, older versions can not and
cause the described problems. Get the ATPI.EXE form MS (someone even
posted the binary here in the group comp.os.ms-windows.nt.setup.hardware
so look for it!). Run the file. It
extracts itself to ATAPI.SYS and some setup and txt-files. Put it on
disk. During instalation when your're asked if you want to install
aditional drivers insert Disk and install. No more problems. No "larger
than 1024 Cylinder"-warning, no crash. :-)
