TITLE   :Windows NT Installation on Laptops with PCI Docking Station
PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT
PROD/VER:WinNT:4.0

KEYWORDS:kbsetup

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 
 - Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you install Windows NT on a portable computer with a docking station, the
peripherals in the docking station are not detected. With some docking stations,
you may receive the following error message after the first reboot:

   Setup has encountered a fatal error while initializing your video
   contact 0xC0000034. Setup can not continue.

CAUSE
=====

Some docking stations have a PCI bridge that links the laptop's PCI bus to the
docking station's PCI bus. During installation, Windows NT is not able to detect
devices in a docking station of this type. The version of HAL available in
Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 has the ability to detect devices across the PCI
bridge.

RESOLUTION
==========

It is possible to replace the original HAL with the one in Service Pack 3 prior
to installation. To do this, create a sharepoint that contains the i386
directory from the Windows NT 4.0 compact disc, or copy the contents of the i386
directory to the local hard disk. After creating the sharepoint, follow these
steps:

1. Rename the following files in the i386 sharepoint or move them to a backup
   directory:

   Hal.dl_
   Halast.dl_
   Halcbus.dl_
   Halcbusm.dl_
   Haloli.dl_
   Halsp.dl_
   Halwyse7.dl_

2. Copy the following files from Service Pack 3 directory to the i386 sharepoint
   on the distribution server:

   Hal.dll
   Hal486c.dll
   Halapic.dll
   Halast.dll
   Halcbus.dll
   Halcbusm.dll
   Halmca.dll
   Halmps.dll
   Halmpsm.dll
   Haloli.dll
   Halsp.dll
   Halwyse7.dll

3. Perform a normal or unattended installation of Windows NT and the devices on
   the docking station will be detected properly.
