DESCRIPTION:  On an Armada M300, using WINNT.EXE for unattended installation of 
Windows NT 4.0 from an MS-DOS FAT partition on a drive exceeding 4 GB may cause 
NTFS corruption.  This SoftPaq can be used to create a patch diskette that 
corrects the Setup for Windows NT 4.0 on an Armada M300.

NOTE:  It is also possible to use the FAT16 file system without converting to 
the NTFS file system.

HOW TO USE:

1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive.
The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable with a filename 
based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. 
Entering "Y" to confirm the unpacking of files creates a new directory 
folder in the download directory.  All files are unpacked into this 
newly created directory.

3. To create a bootable patch diskette, run MAKEDISK.BAT and 
follow on-screen instructions.

4. After the bootable patch diskette has been created, you may delete the  
self-extracting file downloaded in step 1, as well as the directory
folder and files created in step 2.

5. Restore the Armada M300 to its pre-install hard drive image by using the 
QuickRestore CD, then shutdown the computer.

6. Place the newly created bootable patch diskette in Drive A:, and 
power up the computer, allowing the computer to boot from the diskettte.

7. To install the patch, follow the prompts.
