Information

The Windows NT Setup Boot Diskettes

Setup Disk One

When your computer boots from this disk, the master boot record loads and passes control to NTLDR (the Windows NT boot loader). NTLDR, in turn, loads the kernel (NTKRNLMP.EXE). Next, the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) is loaded. In the three possible contenders for this role, the painting on the platform detected, are as follows: HAL486C.DLL, HALMCA.DLL, or HALAPIC.DLL.

Setup Disk Two

This disk contains a minimal Registry used by Setup, SETUPREG.HIV. This Registry contains single entry instructs that tell Windows NT to load SETUPDD.SYS, which is the main installation driver. Next, generic drivers are loaded for video (VGA.SYS, VIDEOPRT.SYS), keyboard (I8042PART.SYS, KBDCLASS.SYS, and KBDUS.DLL), floppy drive (FLOPPY.SYS), and the FAT file system (FASTFAT.SYS). Also included on this disk is the setup font (VGAOEM.FON), and the first of many SCSI port drivers, which continue on the third setup disk.

Setup Disk Three

Disk Three contains additional SCSI port drivers, of which only one or two are typically loaded (depending on what SCSI adapters are installed, if any). Additional file system drivers such as NTFS.SYS are loaded from this disk. Also on this disk are drivers for specific types of hard disks: ATDISK.SYS for ESDI or IDE, and ABIOSDSK.SYS for Micro Channel.
