SYMPTOMS
When you install Windows NT on an NEC Versa P/75 with an enhanced IDE drive, Setup may not be able to locate your hard drive.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the machine BIOS does the logical block addressing (LBA), and the LBA is not initialized on new machines.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:


 * 1) Run the computer CMOS setup program and look at the drive parameters. There will be more than 1024 cylinders if it has an enhanced IDE drive.
 * 2) Save these settings. If you press escape, the parameters will not be saved and Windows NT will not install.
 * 3) Reboot the computer and install Windows NT.
