2.2 List of Bugs Fixed in
Windows NT 4.0 U.S. Service Pack 1
This release of Microsoft(R) Windows NT(TM) 4.0 U.S. Service
Pack 1 is
easy to apply from within Windows NT and changes only those files
that
were originally set up on the Windows NT Workstation or Windows
NT Server
system. Service Pack releases are cumulative: they contain all
previous
fixes, as well as any new fixes made to the system.
Installing the Service Pack from a CD-ROM:
1. Insert the Service Pack CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive.
2. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, change to that CD-ROM drive,
then
change to the i386, MIPS, ALPHA, or PPC directory (depending upon
whether you have an Intel(TM), MIPS(R), ALPHA AXP(TM) or
PowerPC(R)
CPU), and type UPDATE.
3. Follow the instructions given on the screen.
Installing the Service Pack from a network drive:
1. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, type the command to connect
to the
network drive on which the Service Pack files reside.
2. Change to that network drive and type UPDATE.
3. Follow the instructions given on the screen.
*** Emergency Repair Disk
If it is necessary to use the Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk
to repair
your Windows NT system at some time after you apply the Service
Pack, you
will need to re-apply the Service Pack after the repair is
completed. This
is because the Emergency Repair Disk repairs your system by
restoring your
original Windows NT setup. After the repair has completed, simply
follow
the above Installation Instructions to reapply the Service Pack.
*** Adding New Components to the System
If new software or hardware components are changed or added to
your system
after you have applied the Service Pack, it will be necessary to
reapply
the Service Pack. This is because the files taken from the
original
Windows NT disk set may not be equivalent to the files on the
Service Pack
disk set. It is not possible to install new components directly
from the
Service Pack media (such as a new keyboard or printer driver).
New
components must be installed from the original product media.
*** Installing Symbol Files from the CD-ROM
To install the symbol files corresponding to the new binaries
in Service
Pack 1, do the following (assuming your CD-ROM drive is D:, your
symbol
files are located in the C:\WINNT\SYMBOLS directory, and you are
installing
the files for an x86 machine):
XCOPY /S /U /D D:\SUPPORT\DEBUG\I386\SYMBOLS C:\WINNT\SYMBOLS
This will copy the Service Pack 1 .DBG files over the existing
versions of
these files. The XCOPY command shown will copy only those .DBG
files that
are already installed (/U switch), and only those with a more
recent time-
date stamp (/D switch).
NOTE: Use the Qxxxxxx number that precedes
the title of the bug fix to
query the Microsoft Knowledge Base to find an article about that
bug.
