hey all,
i am trying to boot windows nt 4 off an old p 133. it works fine in my normal computer with the same cd rom, but when i put it in this old one, it says BOOT: Couldn't find NTLDR (Next Line) Please insert another disk. Why would it do this? I'm desperate please help!
 
Your old system does not support "boot from CD-ROM" for NT boot CD. You can try a BIOS update or just boot from floppies.
 
well i updated my bios from the hp website to the newest one. i am running an hp 7280P. is there any way i can get a hacked bios to support this?
 
run the command " WINNT32.EXE /OX " from the CDROM's \I386 directory. The Setup program will prompt you to
insert three formatted disks to create the boot floppies.

Or you can look
here.
 
i made those floppys, but it says it cant install because there are no valid partitions (i'm assuming this is because the partition is fat32). what do i do once i load with those 3 floppies?
