INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

This is a discussion about INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE in the Windows Software category; I'm having trouble installing NT 4. 0 Server. When setup finished copying all files, and when the comp restarted, I get a INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error. I can't find a way around it, I installed Win98 thinking it has something to do with the bootloader, but there is no boot.

What should I do?

You must be using an external hard drive device, for example an udma 100 such as Promise or Highpoint. You should of been provided a 3.5 inch disk with your mobo for this controller. As NT installs it should say press F6 if you have any SCSI devices, press F6 whack in your floppy and load off it. I belive this needs to be done twice (for each port?). Hope this helps.
