Service Pack releases are cumulative: they contain all previous fixes, as well as any new fixes made to the system. 2.0 Installation Instructions for the Windows NT U.S. Service Pack ------------------------------------------------------------------- Installing the Service Pack from a CD-ROM: 1. Insert the Service Pack CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive. 2. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, change to that CD-ROM drive, then change to the i386, MIPS, ALPHA, or PPC directory (depending upon whether you have an Intel(TM), MIPS(R), ALPHA AXP(TM) or PowerPC(R) CPU), and type UPDATE. 3. Follow the instructions given on the screen. Installing the Service Pack from a network drive: 1. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, type the command to connect to the network drive on which the Service Pack files reside. 2. Change to that network drive and type UPDATE. 3. Follow the instructions given on the screen. 2.1 User Notes --------------- *** Emergency Repair Disk If it is necessary to use the Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk to repair your Windows NT system at some time after you apply the Service Pack, you will need to re-apply the Service Pack after the repair is completed. This is because the Emergency Repair Disk repairs your system by restoring your original Windows NT setup. After the repair has completed, simply follow the above Installation Instructions to reapply the Service Pack. *** Adding New Components to the System If new software or hardware components are changed or added to your system after you have applied the Service Pack, it will be necessary to reapply the Service Pack. This is because the files taken from the original Windows NT disk set may not be equivalent to the files on the Service Pack disk set. It is not possible to install new components directly from the Service Pack media (such as a new keyboard or printer driver). New components must be installed from the original product media. *** Installing Symbol Files from the CD-ROM To install the symbol files corresponding to the new binaries in Service Pack 1, do the following (assuming your CD-ROM drive is D:, your symbol files are located in the C:\WINNT\SYMBOLS directory, and you are installing the files for an x86 machine): XCOPY /S /U /D D:\SUPPORT\DEBUG\I386\SYMBOLS C:\WINNT\SYMBOLS This will copy the Service Pack 1 .DBG files over the existing versions of these files. The XCOPY command shown will copy only those .DBG files that are already installed (/U switch), and only those with a more recent time- date stamp (/D switch). 2.2 List of Bugs Fixed in Windows NT 4.0 U.S. Service Pack 1 -------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Use the Qxxxxxx number that precedes the title of the bug fix to query the Microsoft Knowledge Base to find an article about that bug.
