SUMMARY
=======
The NEC Versa 4050C computer allows you to inter-exchange or swap between a
floppy disk drive and an IDE CD-ROM drive. Windows NT does not allow you to
start with any media component. For example, you cannot start Windows NT with a
floppy disk drive and then immediately restart your component with a an IDE
CD-ROM drive. A "STOP: 0x0000007B: Inaccessible Boot Device" blue screen appears
if you start with a component that has not been configured in Windows NT.
