- ******** Using TweakBIOS with Windows NT *******
-
-
- TweakBIOS cannot be run under Windows NT, as it denies
- direct access to hardware.
-
- You can use TweakBIOS under some other operating system
- and then reboot to Windows NT, but the settings will be
- lost when you reboot.
-
- But there is a workaround, though.
-
- With TweakBIOS comes a program called INT19.EXE
- which can start Windows NT (or any other OS for that matter)
- *without* rebooting the computer.
- The program can only be used if HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE (or
- some other memory manager) have *NOT* been loaded. Therefore
- you should create a bare bootdisk which only runs TweakBIOS
- and INT19.EXE.
-
- Here's what you should do:
-
- 1. Create a DOS bootdisk using the SYS command.
-
- 2. Make an AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the disk, containing
- only the following lines:
-
- @ECHO OFF
- C:\TWEAK\TWEAKS.EXE
- C:\TWEAK\INT19.EXE
-
- (make sure you give the correct path to the TweakBIOS files)
-
-
- 3. Now you can boot from the floppy, and TweakBIOS will be
- run automatically. Then INT19.EXE will ask you to remove the
- floppy from the drive, and it will restart the operating
- system from the hard disk.
