The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

NT 4(SP v6) - Installation Problem with WD400BB

Asked by krash in Windows NT Operating System

Tags: wd400bb

I have made over 6 attempts to install NT4 (sp v6) on Western Digital Caviar Drive (EIDE - WD400BB) with no success.
     See -->  http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=8

The general script is that NT Server Installation disk loads all installation files.
      1.  I remove the CD
      2.  Change BIOS settings to boot from HD
      3.  Boot sequence error - "Missing Operating Systems"

Workarounds include
      1.  NT Emergency Repair Disk (this is a joke)
                  \winnt directory is located and useless SAM, User files are copied
      2.  NT Boot Disk (ntloard, ntdetect.com, boot.ini) .....can't find support files on
                 multidisk(0)hdisk(0)partition(1)\winnt   (like the ntkernel exe file)

Let me state bluntly - WINDOWS NT SUX.  OK, I've got that out of my system.
Now, how do I proceed?

      1.   My boot partition is currelntly sized as FAT 256Mb
      2.  I'd like to create a boot disk and run FDISK to see how partiitions are allocated.
            - W2000 wants 4 FRIGGGING FLOPPIYS to creat a Boot Disk.
       3.  I'm thinking about using PARTITION MAGIC (or LINUX) to get the NT Boot paritition setup proper.
       4.   These MS-People suck.
