Windows NT cant do drives bigger than 4 gig untill service pack 4.
Infact most of the reatures that MS loves to slam linux for not having
(used to not have) didnt actually exist in NT4 until sp4.
IF you want to do a larger install you have to patch the install disk,
which is a pain for those who love their cdrom booting. You could also
do an nt install on a small disk, service pack it, then clone it across
onto a larger disk.
I dont like it but it pays the bills =) (the firewalls are linux so i
feel safe from kiddies)
