I have a CDROM drive, but it is not IDE. Can I install the Managed Windows Service?

Managed Windows Service (MWS) Installation - Computing Servi...
The installer includes support for generic IDE devices, CDROMs connected via an Adaptec SCSI interface, and CDROMs connected via USB. If your drive doesn't fit into any of these categories, then the installer also includes the ability to use a driver you provide (although in many cases finding a USB CDROM drive will be easier than finding a driver . . .).

I haven't got enough space on my machine, how can I install the Managed Windows Service?

Managed Windows Service (MWS) Installation - Computing Servi...
If your machine is of sufficiently high specification to run the MWS, it is likely to have a hard disk of sufficient size. Problems would arise if your existing setup was partitioned such that the partition you wanted to install the MWS into was not big enough, but you did not want to delete the other partitions on the disk.

Can I install the Managed Windows Service completely standalone?

Managed Windows Service (MWS) Installation - Computing Servi...
No. Although the initial stage takes the required files from the CDROM, the later stages (once you're onto the Applications CD) require access to our network. The machine needs to have a network card, and needs to be correctly cabled to a working network wall point within the University in order for the installation to complete. Network connectivity is also required to check for patches and files made available after the CD set release, and to register the workstation in the NDS.

Can I install the Managed Windows Service from another network via the VPN?

Managed Windows Service (MWS) Installation - Computing Servi...
No. The workstation must be connected to the University of Liverpool network at the time of the installation. There is a chicken and egg problem here in that the machine needs to automatically log in to continue the installation process, but the VPN software must be signed in before this is possible. However, the VPN can only be launched once logged into windows. Generally this isn't a good idea, but it can be useful in some circumstances.

Can SpinRite low-level format my IDE, EIDE, or SCSI drive?

GRC | SpinRite 6.0 FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
No software of any sort can truly low-level format today's modern drives. The ability to low-level format hard drives was lost back in the early 1990's when disc surfaces began incorporating factory written "embedded servo data". If you have a very old drive that can truly be low-level reformatted, SpinRite v5.0 will do that for you (which all v6.0 owners are welcome to download and run anytime).

I booted from my ATAPI CDROM, but the install program says no CDROM is found. Where did it go?

Frequently Asked Questions for FreeBSD 2.X, 3.X and 4.X
The usual cause of this problem is a mis-configured CDROM drive. Many PCs now ship with the CDROM as the slave device on the secondary IDE controller, with no master device on that controller. This is illegal according to the ATAPI specification, but Windows plays fast and loose with the specification, and the BIOS ignores it when booting. This is why the BIOS was able to see the CDROM to boot from it, but why FreeBSD cannot see it to complete the install.

Early Beige G3 machines (those with a "Rev 1" motherboard with an ATI RageII+ chip) do not support slave IDE drives.

If you have CDs only, copy the driver into the floppy disks before attempting to install Windows 2000/XP.

No Officially, the word from Dell is "no", and further investigation reveals that the 400SC uses the ICH5 (82810EB) southbridge, as shown in this picture. The Intel data sheet confirms that RAID support is only available on the ICH5R (82810ER) chipsets. Additionally, the BIOS only shows the option to enable/disable SATA, no RAID configuration. Also, Intel's Application Accelerator is not supported by the 400SC's chipset. It has become a RAID only utility.

Can I install Windows 98 on a drive smaller than 512 Mbytes?

Wide Infotech - Provider of Effective Hardware, Web and AMC ...
Yes. If the drive is smaller than 500 Mbytes, Windows 98 uses original FAT16 instead of FAT32. The Windows 98 setup will advise you of the free space requirements, which are slightly greater than the requirements of Windows 95. Your existing boot diskettes (of any version of a Microsoft operating system) will not be able to recognize a FAT32 disc partition. You will not be able to start Windows 98 if you boot your system with a Windows 95a Startup diskette.

If you are installing Windows XP on a system where you only have Serial ATA Drives you might encounter a problem where Windows does not seem to detect your Hard Drive and reports "No mass storage device found" during an installation (this occurs in Windows NT and Windows 2000 as well).

How do I install Windows XP on an SATA hard drive?

Logic Supply - Frequently Asked Questions
Microsoft does not provide installation/driver support for SATA hard drives in Windows XP. However, there are workarounds for Windows installs. The first two methods assume you have either a spare floppy or IDE drive to use temporarily. If this is not possible, you'll need to slipstream the drivers (see below). Copy the SATA drivers to a floppy disk (these can usually be found on your mainboard support disk. Usually these consist of PIDE/SATA Folders and TXTsetup.oem files.
