I. Installing the DiskOnChip as an additional drive in your system.

To work with the DiskOnChip on Windows NT 4.0, TrueFFS for
Windows NT must be installed. The following will guide you in this
process.

 1. Insert the disk with the TrueFFS installation files into a drive.
 2. From the Windows NT display, open "My Computer" on your
    desktop or open the Windows NT Explorer.
 3. Open the disk with TrueFFS installation files.
 4. Click with the right mouse button on the file Trueffs.inf.
    You will see a menu.
 5. In the menu choose "Install" and click on it.
 6. After Windows NT finishes copying the driver you will be
    asked to reboot your computer. After rebooting, the
    DiskOnChip will appear as another drive in your system.


II. How to format the DiskOnChip with NTFS, compress it and make it 
    bootable for Windows NT 4.0

Assuming you already have a DiskOnChip working in your system as an
additional drive:

 1. Create a Windows NT 4.0 installation to be copied to the
    DiskOnChip. You may use VenturCom Component Integrator
    to create a small footprint installation (see below more details).
 2. Open Explorer, go to the DiskOnChip drive and click the right 
    mouse button. Then choose "Format" from the menu.
 3. Choose NTFS in "File System", Do NOT enable compression, press
    "Start". Press "Close" when formatting is finished.
 4. Go to the drive and create a new folder with the name "Winnt".
    Right-click on this folder and choose "Properties" from the menu.
 5. Check "Compress" and press "Ok". You will be given another
    screen with an exclamation point warning that this action compresses
    all files but does not compress subfolders. Check "Also compress
    subfolders" and click "Ok".
 6. Now copy all the files from your Windows NT 4.0 installation to
    the drive. You should copy all files from \Winnt directory to 
    the just created \Winnt directory on the DiskOnChip drive. Copy
    all files that should be in the root to the root of the DiskOnChip
    drive. Do NOT compress files in the root directory! The following
    files must reside in the root directory for Windows NT to boot:
    NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM and BOOT.INI.
 7. DiskOnChip is ready to boot Windows NT. If you want to boot it
    in the system you just used, you may disable your hard disk drive
    in the BIOS Setup or disconnect it thus letting the DiskOnChip
    be a boot device instead of your hard disk. Another option is to 
    rewrite the firmware on the DiskOnChip using the switch /FIRST. 
    This will make DiskOnChip the first "disk" in the system while 
    your original hard disk will became the second disk.


III. Using the VenturCom Component Integrator to prepare a small 
     footprint Windows NT 4.0

To add the TrueFFS driver to the Component Integrator you will have to
import a TrueFFS kit (TrueFFS driver and TrueFFS kit definition file).

 1. Go to the disk with TrueFFS installation files and find the
    Trueffs.kdf file. Open this file with any text editor,
    for example, Notepad. You should change the "Repository"
    parameter in the [Header] section and the "1" parameter
    in the [SourceMedia] section to the drive letter of
    the disk with TrueFFS installation files. You should
    also change the "1" parameter in the [Directories] section
    to the actual location of the TrueFFS installation files.
 2. Open the Component Integrator, go to "Workspace" menu,
    choose "Kit Import". Click "Add" and open Trueffs.kdf
    file. Click "Ok" after processing is finished.
 3. Go to your configuration of Windows NT in the Component
    Integrator, open "System" - "Disk Storage" - "Disks",
    click twice on "TrueFFS", check "Add Component" and
    press "Ok".
 4. Build your configuration. It will include DiskOnChip
    support now.
