NT 4.0 Sevice Pack 6

j-dogg · 22-May-06, 05:58 PM

I picked up NT4 for an older dual Pentium 3 server I built, primarily for storage, and the OS is legit, so don't whine.

In the process of updating it I realized I will need Service Pack 6, problem is I can't use the smaller Internet-downloadable SP that automatically updates, I need the SP6 Redistributable copy but cannot find it ANYWHERE on the Microsoft website.

If anyone has a copy of the redist., should be about 30 - 60mb, I have a 14-point rep hit to the first person with the file.

If those downloads don't work, I do have a copy of it on my fileserver. PM me if you still need it (I used to run NT4 on one of my machines).

I've always wanted to play with NT, but nobody has a copy around me.

NT4 has fewer features than Windows 95 A had... I got frustrated as heck with it just trying to get around in a pre-Win98 GUI. Win2K is TONS better, and still runs on 64MB machines. I couldn't recommend it unless you're into pain and suffering...

(Here's something just to irritate ya! LOL Just kidding, yes, they're real)

Bling has been added

Thnak you all, SP6 is up and running.

I chose NT4 over 98 because I like the 95 GUI for swapping files between drives so I don't have to have shortcut after shortcut of folders. It's primary purpose is a storage server for all of my photography and video editing, so I feel NT4 is best for the job. Especially considering this machine was built to use 98 / NT4, which means it will be fast as hell and I won't need any of that eye candy crap from XP which uses too much processing power. 2000 likes to hog up all your resources. NT is like a happy median between 98 and 2000.

Best part of it all, FREEEEEEEEEEEEBBBIIIEEEEEEE

If you want fast file access/transfer, I have a copy of Windows 3.11 for servers, lol.
