Setup Recognizes Only the First Two Disks in the System (102597)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q102597 SYMPTOMS
If you have multiple disk controller drives, the text-mode portion of
Setup sees the first two drives only. For example, an array controller
with six physical disks can be configured to appear to the software as
having three drives. Setup recognizes only the first two.
In another example, you may have a docking station equipped portable
computer that has one drive in the portable and a second drive on a
second IDE controller in the dock. Setup sees only the drives in the
portable.
CAUSE
This problem is caused by a limitation of the BIOS.
