8 gigs is what the setup app created. Thanks for the info. @:)>

You said less than 8 gig, I could be wrong, but I thought NT4 had to be on
less than a 4 gig partition for the OS?
Did you try one that small?? :)
I have this old PII 333 MHz 'puter that I'm trying to get up and running
for [EMAIL PROTECTED] with an old copy of NT4 I picked up locally. The
original 1997 hardrive died and I replaced it with a Promise ATA100
controller and a WD 800JB. NT won't install despite repeated efforts
even on a <8 gig C: partition. It partitions Drive C just fine but
chokes on the total size of the drive and won't go any further (neither
NTFS or FAT file system makes any difference). I looked for a method of
slipstreaming SP6 into it thinking that would upgrade it's ability to
deal with modern sized disks but apparently that's not possible
pre-Win2K. Does anybody have any ideas on how I might get this old OS
installed on this old PC with a modern drive so I can give it a new
reason to live? Hate to spend $ on the overpriced WinXP if I can help
it. TIA and Happy Thanksgiving! @:)>
