When you are trying to install Windows NT, you may experience any of
the following symptoms:
- When you boot from the installation disks, the following error message
may be displayed when disk 2 is inserted:
Stop 0x0000007B Inaccessible Boot Device
(0xFF109C50, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
- When you are attempting to create a set of installation disks using
the WINNT /ox or WINNT32 /ox command, the following error message may
be displayed:
This floppy disk is not formatted as high-density, not formatted
with a standard Windows NT or MS-DOS format, or is corrupted.
Setup is unable to use this disk.

switch. This causes Windows NT Workstation Setup to run without requiring
the installation disks.
