The Microsoft supplied generic IDE driver (Atapi.sys) may not be fully
compatible with drives larger that 8 GB. This issue only affects IDE-
based drives 8 GB and larger however Service Pack 4 includes an update
d ATAPI.SYS allowing access to disks greater than 8GB.
Windows 2000 will support (bootable) partitions larger than 8GB provid
ed the booting controllers BIOS supports EXT INT-13 BIOS calls.
The system board BIOS must support and recognize drives larger than 8
GB before Windows NT can access the entire drive. You can verify this
ability by entering into the BIOS or contacting your system board manu
facturer. To use the SP4 ATAPI.EXE under NT 4.0 perform the following:
Download the updated Atapi.sys from Microsoft's FTP server, ftp://ftp.
microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-unsup-ed/fixes/nt40/atapi/ATAPI.EXE a
nd copy the file to a blank floppy disk.
Run Atapi.exe on the diskette and the new Atapi.sys file will be extra
cted to the diskette. Label the disk "ATAPI Service Pack 4 IDE Driver.
" or something along those lines
Boot from the three setup disks supplied with Windows NT Server as per
normal.
When asked if you would like setup to detect your mass storage devices
, press S so that detection is skipped and you specify a mass storage
device.
When setup list devices found, which should list none, press S again a
nd insert the Microsoft ATAPI Service Pack 4 IDE Driver disk and press
ENTER twice. After setup reads the disk and list the Microsoft ATAPI
Service Pack 4 IDE driver, press ENTER to accept the driver.
Setup will now list Microsoft ATAPI Service Pack 4 IDE Driver as an in
stalled driver. If you have additional drivers for other mass storage
devices, press S, if not, press ENTER to continue through setup.
Setup should continue as per normal but it may prompt you to insert th
e disk labeled "Microsoft ATAPI Service Pack 4 IDE Driver Support Disk
" at the copy phase after you have chosen or formatted a partition on
a hard drive.
If you are using Microsoft Small Business Server 4.0 or 4.0a, follow t
hese instructions:
Download the updated ATAPI.SYS from Microsoft's FTP server ftp://ftp.m
icrosoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-unsup-ed/fixes/nt40/atapi/ATAPI.EXE an
d copy the file to a blank floppy disk.
Run Atapi.exe on the disk and the new Atapi.sys file will be extracted
to the disk. Label the diskette "ATAPI Service Pack 4 IDE Driver."
Copy an updated file to Small Business Server (SBS) disk 2. To do this
, rename the file Winnt.sif to Winnt.bak on disk 2. Then copy the Winn
t.sif from the I386 folder on SBS CD 1 to SBS disk 2.
Boot from the modified SBS setup disks.
When the computer is booting off of disk 1 and the message "Setup is i
nspecting your hardware configuration..." is displayed, press F6 on th
e keyboard. NOTE: This is at a black screen and no visible indicators
occur when you press F6.
When prompted, insert the modified disk 2 into the computer. The next
screen that appears will prompt you to specify a mass storage drivers.
To do that, press the S key and then arrow down to the listing of OTH
ER.
Insert the Microsoft ATAPI Service Pack 4 IDE Driver disk and press EN
TER twice.
After setup reads the disk and list the Microsoft ATAPI Service Pack 4
IDE driver, press ENTER to accept the driver.
Setup will now list "Microsoft ATAPI Service Pack 4 IDE Driver" as a i
nstalled driver. If you have any more drivers for other mass storage d
evices, press S; if not, press ENTER to continue through setup. NOTE:
Because we are using a modified version of Winnt.sif, you will be prom
pted to insert disks 2 and 3 several times.
Make sure you format or convert the partition to NTFS as SBS requires
it.
Setup should continue through normally but it will prompt you to inser
t the disk labeled "Microsoft ATAPI Service Pack 4 IDE Driver Support
Disk" at the copy phase after you have chosen or formatted a partition
on a hard drive.
Running ATAPI.EXE creates the files below:
atapi.sys
Disk1
oemsetup.inf
readme.txt
txtsetup.oem
The NT 4.0 SP4 atapi.sys file is neither necessary nor supported for W
indows Terminal Server Edition. If you try to use it, you may get a me
ssage to the effect that you don't have the necessary component instal
led. As long as you stick to the 2GB/8GB install limits, this extensio
n is not necessary.
Apparently, Microsoft refuses to support booting NT from any partition
bigger than 8 GB for SCSI. The newer Adaptec 2940U2W cards are set up
so that NT cannot be booted if the partition is larger than 8 GB, but
unfortunately the older Adaptec cards still allow this largely undocu
mented "mistake" to occur.
Do not use Partition Magic prior to version 3.03 on a big disk; it doe
sn't understand the new INT 13 extensions and it can destroy your hard
drive.
NOTE: I've been informed that with the "ASUS P3B" Motherboard-series
you can't use this solution, it simply won't boot with IDE from that m
otherboard-series.
