SYMPTOMS
========

When you run Windows NT 3.1 on a Siemens PCE-5s (P90/100) computer, error
messages may occasionally appear indicating certain files are corrupt and
unusable.

This problem can occur when you access files on a Windows NT file system (NTFS)
formatted drive. Running CHKDSK may not report or correct the problem.

CAUSE
=====

Windows NT 3.1 has not been tested with these computer models. They are
therefore not on the Windows NT 3.1 Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).

Windows NT 3.1 requires modifications to the Windows NT kernel in order to work
reliably with these computers.

RESOLUTION
==========

Upgrade to Windows NT version 3.5 or obtain the fix mentioned below.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1. A fix to
this problem is in development, but has not been regression-tested and may be
destabilizing in production environments. Microsoft does not recommend
implementing this fix at this time. Contact Microsoft Product Support Services
for more information on the availability of this fix.


This problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.5.
