The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you install Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, during the GUI-mode portion of
Windows NT Setup, the boot loader screen counts down from the default 5 seconds
to 0, the screen goes black, and then the boot loader screen reappears and
cycles through this process indefinitely.
CAUSE
=====
The boot drive may be infected with a boot-sector virus.
RESOLUTION
==========
Use a reputable third-party virus scanning product to detect and clean the boot
sector of the system drive. Do not use FDISK /MBR as some boot sector viruses
may permanently damage the boot sector when removed in this manner.
