This article was previously published under Q124640 SYMPTOMS
When you install Windows NT from a compact disc using WINNT.EXE (with or
without the /B switch), the following message appears during the search for
mass storage devices:
Setup has recognized the following mass storage devices in your
computer: <none>.
If you are running WINNT without any parameters, and you choose Continue,
Setup continues and then asks for disk number four. Because disk number
four does not exist, Setup cannot continue.
If you are running WINNT /B, and you choose Continue, Setup completes. When
you try to install the Future Domain 800-series device driver the following
error message appears:
Error: Unable to open the file D:\i386\fd8xx.sys.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when the J3 jumpers on your STB Powergraph video
accelerator card is in the 16-bit BIOS position.
RESOLUTION
Set the J3 jumper to the 8-bit BIOS position. If you were running WINNT
without any parameters to install Windows NT, you should now be able to
reinstall it.
For more information, contact STB Systems Inc. at (800) 234-4334.
MORE INFORMATION
The J3 jumper is used to configure the card for 8-bit or 16-bit BIOS data
transfers. The 16-bit BIOS setting is designed for real-mode (MS-DOS)
software. The 8-bit BIOS setting is designed for non-real mode software.
