xrayer Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Hi,I have installed NT 4.0 on my PC for long years and works fine but I run into trouble with last update of MB and HDD.Now I have mobo with ICH7 (using IDE mode) and new 500GB SATA HDD. I moved partitions from old HDD and allmy OSes can boot except NT 4.0. For Win98SE I had to update esdi.pdr to have LBA48 support and works fine too.NT 4.0 just displays a BSOD saying unacessible boot device.But I found if I move them (and edit boot.ini of course) on slave HDD which is less 128GB they can boot.So I tried to install UniATA driver. It was installed successfully but when moved back to 500GB disk it still didn't boot I also tried to replace original NT .sys driver by uniata.sys but it hangs during boot.Anybody was successfull with >128G HDD?

awergh Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 ive tried installing the uniATA driver but it says the service failed to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrayer Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 When I look into control panel/SCSI adapters I can see driver is not running but runs standard ATAPI.SYS. But when i go to control panel/devices and seek for uniata it is set to run on startup and when I tried to startup manually it says driver allready running, so what is true? Probably is not running, fallback to atapi.sys. I tried contact author but no reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdv Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 If you ask Bearwindows I'll bet he'll have a solution. The guy knows NT4 cold. He pops in at MSFN now and then but you'll probably get better results just emailing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
