Windows NT informs you that this driver is already on the system and asks if you
want to use the currently installed driver or a new one.
h) Click on
1HZ
and insert the GDT Windows NT driver disk.
i) Click on
&RQWLQXH
and NT copies the new driver to the disk.
At the next system boot the GDT driver is loaded.

Removable hard disks (e.g., SyQuest, IOMEGA or magneto optical devices, MODs) are con-
trolled by the ICP Controller in two fundamentally different modes:
0RGH
The removable hard disk is treated like a normal hard disk. The data passes
through the cache of the ICP Controller and the media needs to be initialized with
GDTSETUP.
0RGH
The removable hard disk is handled as a Raw Device. This means that the removable
device is directly controlled by Windows NT without any further interaction of the control-
ler. Consequently, the data is not cached by the GDT cache and the media does not need to
be initialized with GDTSETUP. The advantage of mode 1 lies in a decisively better perform-
ance due to caching. On the other hand, the relatively complicated procedure of media
changing presents a disadvantage. The opposite is true when adopting mode 2: The media
change is easy and the media are compatible with other disk controllers (e.g., NCR). The
performance is rather low since the data cannot be cached on the ICP Controller.
To install a removable hard disk as a Raw Device, the media must not be initialized with
GDTSETUP and the device must be set to a SCSI-ID equal to or greater than 2. In addition,
the parameters of the GDT driver GDTX.SYS need to be configured differently in the Win-
dows NT Registry
+.(<B/2&$/B0$&+,1(?6<67(0?&XUUHQW&RQWURO6HW?6HUYLFHV?JGW[?3DUDPHWHUV?'HYLFH
To do so, follow these instructions:
1. Load the Registry Editor
UHJHGWH[H
in
??V\VWHP
2. Select the window
+.(<B/2&$/B0$&+,1(RQ/RFDO0DFKLQH
3. Choose the Key
JGW[
in the directory
6<67(0?&XUUHQW&RQWURO6HW?6HUYLFHV?
.
4. Enter by means of Edit, function Add Key, the name
3DUDPHWHUV
.
Select
3DUDPHWHUV
.
5. Enter by means of Edit, function Add Key, the name
'HYLFH
.
Select
'HYLFH
.
6. Enter by means of Edit, function Add Value, the name
'ULYHU3DUDPHWHU
.
7. Use data type
5(*B6=
Now enter the parameter string (e.g.):
UHVHUYH
.
(This string causes the SCSI device connected with ICP Controller 0, SCSI channel 0,
SCSI ID 4, LUN 0 to be reserved as a Raw Device. ICP Controller 0 is the ICP Controller
which is detected and configured first after switching on your computer system).
8. The reservation of the SCSI device becomes active after completing regedt32, exiting
and rebooting the system.
