The Portégé 300/320 models have been tested to be compatible with Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server. Portégé 300/320 series computers are qualified under Microsoft "Designed for Windows NT" logo program. For more NT compatibility information, please visit the Microsoft Windows NT Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).

1. Portégé notebook computer (300/320, hereafter referred to as "the computer")
2. SelectBay CD-ROM drive
3. External floppy disk drive AC adapter (if battery is not sufficiently charged)
4. Windows NT workstation V4.0 (hereafter refereed to as "NT 4.0") CD-ROM (or access to NT 4.0 installation distribution files via network connection)
5. Windows NT workstation V4.0 Service Pack 3 (hereafter referred to as "SP3") CD (SP3 can be downloaded, or use access to NT SP3 installation files via network connection.)
6. NT Support files including Toshiba power management, device driver and utility software for Portégé 300/320 model computers (Toshiba drivers and utilities software can be downloaded. Please search for relevant model's file section)

Download the following support files (device drivers and NT utilities) and extract them to blank floppy disks.

Blank floppy diskettes for creating system bootable disk and NT Emergency Rescue Disk.

Memory: 16MB minimum, 32- 64MB preferred

Hard Drive: Hard drive formatted with FAT 16 partition.120MB free space minimum, 500MB preferred

Setup: TSETUP (Toshiba CMOS setup) must be modified from factory default setting in order to install Windows NT 4.0 correctly.

Power on the computer while holding down "ESC" key

Press the "F1" key to enter the TSETUP menu.

Press the "HOME" key to select default setup

Use arrow key to go to "PC card Controller Mode" and change it to "PCIC Compatible"

Press the "END" key to save and exit setup.

If you have access to the internal SelectBay CD-ROM at this point, skip this section and go to "Installing Windows NT WorkStation 4.0." Otherwise, you will need to create a CD-ROM boot disk or Network boot disk if NT 4.0 setup files are located on a network server. For local installation via internal SelectBay CD-ROM,

- Create a bootable floppy disk on another computer.

- Copy the necessary CD-ROM drivers (TOSCDROM. SYS, MSCDEX.EXE) onto the bootable floppy disk, then create config.sys and autoexec.bat files to gain access to the internal CD-ROM. CD-ROM drivers can be found on the Toshiba web site. This example shows how to assign a drive letter Q to the internal CD-ROM.

[Config.sys] DEVICE=A:\TOSCDROM. SYS

[AUTOEXEC.BAT] A:\MSCDEX.EXE /L:Q /D:TOSCD001 /M:10 For network installation,

- Consult your network administrator on how to use a bootable disk to gain access to a file server containing NT 4.0 installation files. This technote will primarily discuss CD-ROM installation.

Toshiba recommends the following steps if only PC cards will be used with the computer:

1. Install Windows NT.
2. Install PC card network support if needed.
3. Install Service Pack 3.
4. Install the video driver.
5. Install the modem driver.
6. Install the Toshiba NT APM driver and utilities software.

Note: It is possible to install NT without copying i386 files to the local hard drive. However, it is recommended to do so in case NT does not see CD-ROM after computer reboots.

4. Copy SP3 files from SP3 CD to C:\SP3 directory.
5. Go to C:\i386 directory and type in the following command to install NT. C:\i386\WINNT /B

Note: WINNT /B will perform a floppy-less installation. If boot floppies need to be made, the "WINNT /OX" command will generate NT installation disk sets (3 disks) and can be used to boot up the computer from the floppy drive.
