I have a minor NT startup problem to which I would like an answer. startup sequence is . . . 1. "OS Loader" screen appears – normal 2. "Microsoft (R) Windows NT (TM) – – – -" appears then long pause – 15-20 secs. screen flashes then 3. "Microsoft (R) Windows NT (TM) – – – -" appears again 4. disk check info display – normal 5. startup continues normally with no further problems – so far !!! After logging on, the event viewer shows 2 identical entries . . . AH154x event 9 "device \Device\ScsiPort0, did not respond in timeout period" My system is: 486DX/33 24 meg RAM AH1542B ISA scsi controller all hard disks are scsi Panasonic 562B CD reader NT installed on an extended partition logical drive on disk 0 Any suggestions are welcome. Whilst not a serious problem it does extend the boot time considerably and any error events are of concern. Mike Smith There is 1 Reply. Read action !
