SYMPTOMS
When you install Windows NT Server 4.0 or Windows NT Workstation 4.0 on a guest PC, you may receive the following error message:

An unrecoverable processor error has been encountered.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if the hard disk on the guest PC is converted from FAT16 or FAT32 to the NTFS file system during the installation of Windows NT Server 4.0 or of Windows NT Workstation 4.0.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, install Windows NT Server 4.0 or Windows NT Workstation 4.0 on a guest PC hard disk partition that is already formatted with NTFS or that is formatted with FAT32.

If you install Windows NT on a hard disk partition formatted with FAT32, do not select to convert to the NTFS file system during the installation process. After the installation has completed, you can convert the hard disk on the guest PC to NTFS.
