The first parameter may vary depending on the computer configuration, but the last three should be all 0's.
CAUSE
This error is generated by files related to Compaq's Insight Manager version 2.61 or 3.0.
WORKAROUND
Rename the following files found in %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers;
Cpqsdm.sys - which is the SCSI Device Manager
Sysmgmt.sys - which is the Systems Management Driver
After renaming the files, restart your computer to allow setup to proceed.
NOTE: You may encounter additional error messages relating to Insight Manager.
If the file system is NTFS, a parallel copy of Windows NT will need to be installed into a temporary directory. After Windows NT is installed and the files renamed, restart the computer and choose the original installation from the Boot.ini menu to continue the upgrade process.
After the upgrade is completed, it is recommended that Insight Manager be reinstalled, apply any Windows NT 4.0 service packs that may be needed, and then apply the latest SSD from Compaq.
It is recommended that for Windows NT 4.0, that Insight Manager version 3.3 or later be used.
