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 Q105235 SUMMARY
The procedure to use the Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk on a
RISC-based computer is different from the procedure on an x86-based
computer. On an x86-based system, the repair utility is run by booting
from a startup disk that was created during the installation of
Windows NT. On a RISC-based computer, no startup disk is created, as
the RISC-based computers do not automatically start from a floppy
disk.
Use the following procedure to use the Emergency Repair Disk on a
RISC-based computer:
- Insert the Windows NT CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
- Start your computer.
- From the list of choices on the firmware menu, select Run A
Program.
- When you are prompted for the program to run, type the following
and press ENTER:
- When the setup screen appears, type R to run the repair utility.
- Insert the repair disk into drive A as prompted and continue to
follow the instructions on the screen.
