NT4 is a bust! That's $25 down the drain. I couldn't install my NIC
driver because it won't detect or install. The 3com NIC detect utility
doesn't see the PCI bus only ISA (1997 HP Vectra slot 1 PII/LX chipset
with both interfaces side by side on a riser card).
Ati doesn't have an NT4 driver for my Radeon 9200se (VGA 800X600X16
only) and neither x86 version of [EMAIL PROTECTED] will install successfully
same as my experience with Win95. NT4/SP6 runs fine now and its a simple
matter to jump back and forth between machines with my KVM switch but
without Ethernet its crippled. Gonna have to scrub and install something
else. Anybody have a copy of Win98se or WinME for sale cheap?
Chris, just how hard would it be to install Linux, set up an Ethernet
connection to my WinXP PC's and get [EMAIL PROTECTED] up and running in
minimal time (I only know Windoze and DOS)?
I just want to fold, network and store drive images on this old thing
without putting to much more cash or time into it. Any suggestions
appreciated. @:)>

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! @:)>
