    an existing system, then follow these steps:

        1. Delete ARROW.SYS from NT installation diskette which came from
        Microsoft.  You may want to backup the original diskette before
        deleting ARROW.SYS.

        2. Follow the regular NT installation procedures and select CUSTOM
        setup. The installation program scans your system for SCSI host 
        adapters and displays a list of recognized adapters. In most

        SCSI adapters. The Windows NT installer will display a list of 
        options, select "Other (Requires disk provided by a hardware 
        manufacturer)". The installation program will prompt you to insert
