Troubleshooting NT

Cannot find any NT disks or partitions

  • Some controllers require more than one driver. Try repeating the auto probe first.
  • It's either caused by unsupported controller or file system driver problems.
  • See next questions..
  • Please don't ask about inclusion of new drivers. I'm often short on time, get lot's of mail, and it's difficult to put in things I cannot test.
  • If you really insist on asking for new drivers, you must at least provide me with correct info on controller card or chip brand name, type, model etc, and a link to website(s) with drivers for Linux. If there also are docs for using it on Linux, I need that, too. However, as I get a lot of mail, I cannot guarantee an answer or that your needed driver will be included.
  • There are however several other things to try:
    • Try to build Grenier's DOS floppies
    • Move hard disk to another machine as secondary, then try Grenier's chntpw.exe
    • Install new NT/2k/XP in another dir than \winnt etc, then login with new install to access the old ones sam file. Either rename it (will leave admin with blank pass) or use chntpw.exe on it.
  • Or why not look at The password recovery page at MCSE World
