SYMPTOMS
After you install Windows NT version 3.5 to another directory instead of
upgrading Windows NT version 3.1 and both versions of Windows NT reside on
an NTFS or FAT partition, the following STOP message may appear when you
start Windows NT version 3.1:
STOP: 0x0000007B
Inaccessible Boot Device
During bootup when checking the file system(s), the error message for NTFS
is:
This drive cannot be checked with this version of UNTFS.DLL.
File Manager gives a description of the drive as:
Wrong disk is in the drive.
Disk Administrator says the format of the drive is:
Unknown.
CAUSE
This problem occurs due to changes made to the file systems in Windows NT
version 3.5.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:
- Start Windows NT version 3.5.
- Rename the following files in the <winnt31root>\SYSTEM32 directory to
another file name on the hard disk drive:
UFAT.DLL
UNTFS.DLL
Rename the following files in the <winnt31root>\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS
subdirectory to another file name on the hard disk drive:
NTFS.SYS
FASTFAT.SYS
- Copy the same files listed above (Step 2) from the Windows NT version
3.5 CD (for either Server or Workstation) to the same subdirectory of
<winnt31root>\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS.
NOTE: These replacement files are in expanded format and are located in
the FS31UPD\I386 subdirectory (for Intel-based computers) on the Windows
NT version 3.5 CD.
- Shut down and restart the computer with Windows NT version 3.1.
- Run UPDATE.EXE located in the FS31UPD\I386 subdirectory (for Intel-
based computers) on the Windows NT version 3.5 CD (for either Server or
Workstation).
