SYMPTOMS
========

When you install Windows NT 3.5 or 3.51 on a Hewlett-Packard (HP) Vectra XU/XUC
P5 Pentium-based computer using an on-board AMD SCSI controller, the following
STOP Message appears after Setup completes the mass storage device detection and
reboots your computer:

  STOP: 0x0000007B
  INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct this problem:

1. Ensure the BIOS version of your Vectra computer is 5.08 or above. If it is
  not, contact HP Vectra DeskTop Support at (970) 635-1000 for a BIOS update.

2. Obtain VJS2NIUS.EXE, which contains a new AMD SCSI controller driver
  AMSINT.SYS, from the HP Bulletin Board Service at (208) 344-1691 or HP's web
  site at http://www.hp.com. Extract VJS2NIUS.EXE on another computer.

3. Run Windows NT Setup by typing the following (which creates the Windows NT
  Setup floppy disks):

  WINNT /OX

  -or-

  WINNT32 /OX

4. Replace the AMSINT.SYS driver on the third Windows NT Setup floppy disk with
  the SCSI driver obtained from HP (Step 2 above).

5. Continue Windows NT Setup.
