My machine can't boot up from the CD. I'm running a SCSI card and an IDE RAID card so my bios get's all confused, I've tried anythink I can think of but it just wont boot. I have the disks on the IDE RAID and the cd drive on the SCSI card so I can't just remove 1 card for the installation. I can't find any boot disk creators on the cd either? Any ideas?

It seems that winnt.exe will start the installation, but that doesn't give me the option to load the drivers for my IDE controller card? What can I do?

Don't run setup.exe in DOS.
Load up smartdrv.exe from a bootdisk (win98 ) and then run x:i386winnt.exe where 'x' is your CD-ROM Drive |

I've been trying to find a list of all the switches for winnt.exe but I can only find it for w2k. There doesn't seem to be anything giving me the "F6" option...
