Microsoft Windows NT 3.1 
Installing Windows NT on the IBM ThinkPad 750 


The Microsoft Windows NT product group has recently provided support 
for the IBM ThinkPad 750 system.  The ThinkPad 750 has passed all 
required Hardware Compatibility Tests and will be listed on the next 
update of the Windows NT Hardware Compatibility List.  This update
was tested on ThinkPad models 750 and 750c.  We anticipate successful 
results on other models such as the 750cs and 750p as well.   

At this time, we recommend that a FAT file system be used on the 
ThinkPad 750.  We have experienced some difficulties with the NTFS 
file system on this system which will be addressed in a future 
Service Pack update.  

In order to run Windows NT Setup on this system, you must first obtain 
the updated files and recreate Disks #1 and #8 from the Windows NT 
floppy install disk set.  The identified files are: 

     	NTDETECT.COM
	NTLDR
	SETUPLDR
	FLOPPY.SYS
	UPDAT750.BAT

Please follow the instructions below to successfully install Windows NT 
on the IBM ThinkPad 750.  

After installing Windows NT on the ThinkPad, do not apply Service Packs 1 
or 2 on the system as the Service Pack may overwrite the above referenced 
files.  In the near future, we will release a Service Pack update which 
may be used on the ThinkPad 750.  


To Install Windows NT 3.1 on the IBM ThinkPad 750
_________________________________________________

1.  Use diskcopy or other preferred copy utility to make a new copy of 
diskettes #1 and #8 from the Windows NT 3.1 3.5" install disk set.

2.  Copy the updated files: 

	NTDETECT.COM
	NTLDR
	SETUPLDR
	FLOPPY.SYS
	UPDAT750.BAT

to a directory on the hard drive on the ThinkPad 750.

3.  Make the directory containing the updated files the current directory. 

4.  Execute the batch file UPDAT750.BAT, specifying the floppy drive to 
use.  For example:

	UPDAT750  A:

5.  Insert the recreated copies of Disks #1 and #8 in the floppy drive 
of the ThinkPad 750 as directed. 

6.  You may now execute Windows NT Setup on the ThinkPad 750 using the 
modified disks.  Do not use them to install Windows NT onto any other 
system other than the ThinkPad 750.
