The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
SYMPTOMS
If you have a system board with an AMI ROM BIOS on it Windows NT may stop
responding (hang) when you try to write to a floppy disk drive.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, try one of the following:
- Slow the system down by turning off caching, disabling shadowing
and/or using the turbo button.
- If that approach works, enable the caching and shadowing again.
Then, in the advanced chip set options, try setting the I/O recovery
options to their maximum value. According to AMI, if I/O recovery time
is insufficient, device drivers, particularly for UNIX and XENIX will
fail. The exact description of the I/O recovery options vary from one
BIOS model to another.
