Error During SSD 2.10 or Earlier Installation on Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4

ID: Q216345

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

If the Compaq SSD 2.10 is installed on a computer running Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4 installed, the following error may appear:

Installed Service Pack - The Service Pack installed on the system is not currently supported on this version of setup. Please consult the help file for more details.

This error will only occur if either of the following options are selected during the SSD installation:

HAL and Kernel Upgrade/Downgrade

HAL Recovery Option

CAUSE

This error occurs because version 2.10 and earlier versions of the Compaq SSD are not aware of Microsoft's Service Pack 4 for Windows NT. Therefore, to complete the procedure correctly, HAL and Kernel Upgrade/Downgrade and the HAL Recovery Option must be performed manually.
