Windows NT 4.0 Device Manager

Hello,

I have a Windows NT 4.0 computer. I am trying to find the screen that will show me SCSI, RAID or SATA controller information so I can get some drivers. I am looking for the same sceen that I would get on an XP computer in "Control Panel" - "System" - "Hardware" - "Device Manager".

I can not find that information on NT 4.0.
Thanks for your help.

There's no real "Device Manager" in NT4. You can go to Control Panel -> Devices, but that will only tell you which of the device drivers are currently working.
You can find the core driver used by going to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\<ServiceName> (search for the display name from the Devices if in doubt), then look for the REG_SZ value "Imagepath".

Where is HKLM? Is it a windows navigation or do I go to the command prompt? I agree that control Panel -> Devices does not tell you much.

Thanks

Start regedit, and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\...

Hi,
Thank you very much for your help.
I have looked at a Windows XP computer and the Windows NT computer. I have attached 2 screen prints from XP and 2 for NT. I am trying to determine if I am looking at the correct file. XP seems to spell it out a lot clearer that NT. NT doesn't really give a controller like XP does.

From what you can tell, am I looking in the right direction?

Again, thanks alot for all of your help and patience.
