Jalmari Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Hi!I found a while ago an old NT4 cd. Now I'm trying to install it on my main pc, but the installation program crashes without bsod immediately after loading all the stuff to memory and then reboots.Some specs:CPU - Intel I5 3570k,Mobo - some Asus p8z77 with UEFI bios8GB or 4GB of ram (neither works)USB mouse & keyboard Same results with another 3rd gen I5 pc with Gigabyte mobo and 8 gigs of ram Does anyone have idea of what might cause this? Thanks -Jalmari Edited August 21, 2014 by Jalmari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yes. Better check the specs/hardware limitations of NT4. You've answered your own question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I ran into a problem installing NT4 on "newer" hardware, quite some time ago. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/122950-what-should-i-load-on-a-triple-boot-pc/?p=795100 I'm not sure what the board was, I'm thinking it was an Intel 865 chipset.

submix8c Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Addendum - You might also Google thisNT4 "USB support"Only third party USB Drivers. MS didn't ever provide for it. NT4 (like Windows 2000) was strictly business oriented. There's RAM limitations, HDD Partition size limitations, and-on-and-on. Also google thisNT4 limitationsand thiswindows nt4 sp6 slipstreamMSFN jumps up immediately on the second one. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearwindows Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Installing Windows NT from CD, HDD or floppies as usual on modern hardware (I mean Pentium4-based and later PCs) it is a difficult task due to installer incompatibility with faster/newer hardware & CPUs. That doesnt mean that Windows NT cannot RUN on such hardware. You CAN install Windows NT in virtialization software (QEMU, VirtualBox, VmWare, VirtualPC, Bochs ...) and then copy intalled OS image on "real" PC harddrive. 1) Install base NT4 system in virtual environment.2) Apply Service Pack 6a & Post-Service Pack 6a SRP.3) Install VBEMP (video) and Uniata (EIDE-SATA-ATAPI) drivers4) Clone this system from virtual environment to real hardware see http://bearwindows.zcm.com.au/winnt4.htm As a proof that NT4 works on modern hardware I provide some screenshots from Supermicro X8DT6 + Xeon 2.93 GHz:http://s30.postimg.org/6sfz3qt59/winrar1.gifhttp://s30.postimg.org/kfhfy7xu5/winrar2.gif Edited August 29, 2014 by bearwindows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
