SYMPTOMS
After Setup copies Windows NT system files to the hard disk and the system reboots from the hard disk, the following error may occur:

Boot NTLDR: I/O Error Reading Disk



CAUSE
Some generic Local Bus IDE controllers have been found to cause this error, although other problems can also cause this error.



RESOLUTION
If a Local Bus IDE host adapter is used in the system, replace it with a normal IDE host adapter. If switching to a normal IDE interface corrects the problem, contact the manufacturer for further information about compatibility with Windows NT.
