DESCRIPTION:  Unpacks the file TAGFIX.EXE, a utility that corrects the 
problem where disk numbers do not properly correspond to drive letters in 
the Windows NT Disk Administrator

This utility is intended for Compaq servers configured as described 
above (see SYSTEM CONFIGURATION).  The version of the Array Controller 
driver in this configuration changes the load order of the disk controller 
drivers, which may cause disk numbers and drive letters to no longer 
correspond in the Windows NT Disk Administrator.

This utility corrects the load order of the disk controller drivers.

Specifically, Compaq SCSI and Array disk controllers have a Windows NT 
registry entry that is used to determine disk controller load order.  
This registry entry is Tag:REG_DWORD and it is found in the Windows NT 
registry in the following location:
 
	Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\cpqarray

The TAGFIX.EXE utility resets the value of this registry entry from the 
incorrect value of 0x64 back to the correct value of 0x100.

HOW TO USE:

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

2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file 
and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack the files.
The number of files to be created and total file size is displayed.
You will be given the chance to specify the target directory for 
the files, or default to the download directory.

3. After the files have been created, you may delete the  
self-extracting file downloaded in step 1.

4. To install the fix, run TAGFIX.EXE.  No user intervention is required.
