SYMPTOMS
When you install Windows NT 3.5 or 3.51 on a Hewlett-Packard (HP) Vectra XU/XUC P5 Pentium-based computer using an on-board AMD SCSI controller, the following STOP Message appears after Setup completes the mass storage device detection and reboots your computer:

STOP: 0x0000007B

INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:


 * 1) Ensure the BIOS version of your Vectra computer is 5.08 or above. If it is not, contact HP Vectra DeskTop Support at (970) 635-1000 for a BIOS update.
 * 2) Obtain VJS2NIUS.EXE, which contains a new AMD SCSI controller driver AMSINT.SYS, from the HP Bulletin Board Service at (208) 344-1691 or HP's web site at http://www.hp.com. Extract VJS2NIUS.EXE on another computer.
 * 3) Run Windows NT Setup by typing the following (which creates the Windows NT Setup floppy disks):

WINNT /OX

-or-

WINNT32 /OX
 * 1) Replace the AMSINT.SYS driver on the third Windows NT Setup floppy disk with the SCSI driver obtained from HP (Step 2 above).
 * 2) Continue Windows NT Setup.
