TITLE   :WinSleuth Gold Returns Inaccurate Disk Information
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

WinSleuth Gold return inaccurate disk information.

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs because WinSleuth Gold reads the CMOS ports to
determine how many physical hard disks the system has and what type
numbers they are. In Windows NT, the virtual DOS machine (VDM) doesn't
access the physical hard disk so there is no way to correctly report
information with this application.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, use Windows NT Setup or Control Panel to
get the desired system information.
