X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev B final beta #1]

I have a 100MHz Pentium computer with a Bus Logic BC946C PCI SCSI controller, 
a Diamond Viper PCI video card with 2MB of Vram, 2 Conner SCSI 1080MB HD's and 
an NEC 4X CD Rom.

My problem is that I had BSDI Unix installed on the computer for a while.  I 
then purchased a copy of Windows NT to test out on the computer.  I ran the 
install on the PC and used Windows NT fdisk program to fdisk the computer.  
Durring the install the computer does a reboot to start NT to finish the 
setup.  When the computer reboots and gets to the point where it would load 
the NT operating system the computer restarts as if I had turned off the power 
and turned it back on again.

My question is:         Could this problem be caused by not using the BSDI operating 
system to fdisk the drives?  If this is the problem, what can I do to correct 
it.
