WIN32K.SYS (new for NT 4.0)
Although the UPTOMP.EXE file from the Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit does copy
the correct files, WIN32K.SYS is
not
copied with this utility.
E.1.1 Resolving Problems with the UPTOMP.EXE Utility
There are some problems associated with the current release of the
UPTOMP.EXE utility. The following are the steps to resolve them:
1. Locate the WIN32K.SYS file on the NT 4.0 CD, and copy it to the
\WINNT\SYSTEM32 directory.
Note: The file might be compressed as WIN32K.SY_. Use EXPAND.EXE to
uncompress the file.
2. Copy all the files of the UPTOMP.EXE utility to a temporary directory.
3. Edit the UPTOMP.INI file in the Resource Kit and add the WIN32K.SYS to the
end of the list of files as follows:
hal.dll = 1, 2, hal.dll
ntoskrnl.exe = 0, 2, ntkrnlmp.exe
ntdll.dll = 0, 2, ntdll.dll
kernel32.dll = 0, 2, kernel32.dll
winsrv.dll = 0, 2, winsrv.dll
win32k.sys = 0, 2, win32k.sys
4. Run the UPTOMP.EXE utility from the temporary directory. Select the HAL
you wish to change to (see Table 4 on page 91).
E.2 Reinstalling Windows NT to Upgrade the HAL
If you were unsuccessful when using the UPTOMP utility, you will need to
completely reinstall Windows NT and thereby install a new HAL. This will mean
your user definitions and any other configuration of your server will be lost. You
should save this information prior to reinstallation.
Note: If the server whose HAL you wish to upgrade is the Primary Domain
Controller (PDC), it is possible to use another spare server to hold the user
configurations while you are reinstalling. See E.2.1, “Using the Backup Domain
Controller” on page 161.
To do this, the process is a standard installation as per Chapter 5, “Installing
Windows NT Server 4.0” on page 81. Follow those steps until after you
read/agree to the license agreement. At this point you will see Figure 125 on
page 161.
