INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
-------------------------
This document contains information to assist you with the installation of
Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 on the IBM ThinkPad 760XD and 765D.
These instructions assume you are working with a blank formatted hard drive
with the CD-ROM installed in the computer and the floppy drive attached
externally. If you are going to be installing Windows NT from an
external CD-ROM drive or are trying to swap between the floppy and the
CD-ROM drive, click here for instructions.
NOTE: Windows NT Server is NOT supported on any ThinkPad.
THIS INSTALLATION PROCEDURE WILL REQUIRE THE FOLLOWING:
- A blank diskette (Needed to create Repair Diskette)
- The FDD External Attachment Kit (allows external diskette drive
attachment); US Part Number 66G5069 or FRU number 66G3618
- Windows NT 4.0 Workstation 4.0 (CD-ROM)
- Windows NT 4.0 Workstation 4.0 Setup Diskettes (3 diskettes)
Attaching the external diskette drive
-------------------------------------
The ThinkPad 760XD, 765D has a port on the back of the unit which will
allow attachment of the diskette drive externally using IBM part 66G3618.
Both the diskette drive and the CD-ROM drive must be attached to the
machine in order to install from CD-ROM. The diskette and CD-ROM drives
can not be hot-swapped during installation. ThinkPad 760 models without
a CD-ROM can be installed via CD-ROM mounted in a docking station.
