SYMPTOMS
When you install Windows NT on an IBM Thinkpad 755C, the following STOP message may appear as soon as the computer restarts (after the text portion of Setup is complete):

STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFF505BA8, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE



CAUSE
This problem occurs when you use the CD-ROM installation and then apply the IBM755.EXE patch from the WINNT forum on CompuServe.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, try one of the following methods:

Installing Windows NT from CD-ROM

 * Boot to MSDOS and copy the i386 directory from the Windows NT 3.1 CD to an i386 directory on the hard drive.
 * Copy all of the extracted files from the IBM755.EXE patch to the i386 directory on the hard disk drive.
 * Run WINNT.EXE from the i386 directory on the hard disk drive.

Installing Windows NT from the Disk Set
First run the batch file included in the patch to copy the necessary files to the Setup floppy disks.
