This article was previously published under Q177461
SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft BackOffice 2.5 and 4.0 compact discs are not bootable. This
is different behavior from the native Windows NT Server and Workstation
compact discs.
RESOLUTION
To install Windows NT, you must either use the three setup disks that are
included with BackOffice or run one of the following commands from a
command prompt at the I386 directory;
winnt /b
WINNT32 /b if doing an upgrade
MORE INFORMATION
It was decided not to make the Windows NT 4.0 BackOffice compact disc
bootable because of the many restarts required during the installation of
all the BackOffice components. If the BackOffice compact disc was left in
the CD-ROM drive, Windows NT would attempt to install after each restart.
