SYMPTOMS
The Windows NT 3.51 Setup goes through two processes when choosing the CD-ROM drive from which Windows NT 3.51 will be set up. First, when Setup is in text mode, Setup prompts you to choose SCSI drives on your machine and loads Windows NT 3.51 from the first drive specified. Second, when Setup is in the graphical user interface (GUI) mode, Setup accesses the CD-ROM drive depending on the priority that the CD-ROM drive has in the computer. This situation might cause the following error message to be displayed:

Please insert Windows NT Workstation/Server diskette # or Windows NT Workstation/Server CD-ROM.



RESOLUTION
To set up Windows NT 3.51 on computers with multiple CD-ROM drives installed:

 Choose the CD-ROM drive that has first priority. You will not be able to view which CD-ROM drive has priority on your computer, but you can follow this list:

SCSI devices

IDE (ATAPI) devices

Non-SCSI devices in the following order: Sony, Panasonic, Mitsumi

-or- Place the Windows NT 3.51 CD in each CD-ROM drive until the CD-ROM drive that has priority on your computer accepts it for copying files.
