SYMPTOMS
When you are installing Windows NT 4.0, the screen may go black at the end of text-mode Setup after Ntdetect finishes. When this occurs, you must turn the computer off and on to reset it.



CAUSE
This behavior can be caused by SCSI miniport drivers attempting to access the hardware incorrectly. On some computers, this could cause the computer to stop responding (hang) on the next boot.



RESOLUTION
Turn the computer off and on to reset it. Setup should continue normally.
