10GB drive problem

by jim_rau . Updated 25 years, 12 months ago

I just bought a new 10GB Maxtor drive for an older Compaq Deskpro 2000 PC. I upgraded the BIOS on the PC and installed the drive. At this point during an NT4 Workstation install I only see a bit less than 8000MB.

So I try to use the MaxBlast software to resolve this and when I do I get prompted for either a DOS boot disk or a Win9.x Startup Disk!?

I want to install NT4 Workstation. It seems like a Win9.x disk will put FAT32 on the drive? I can’t use either the NT4 CD (which the computer will boot from and start an NT4 install) or the NT4 install disks. All I get is a prompt for the DOS or Win9.x disks.

Any clues as to how I can get all 10GB of this drive in NT4 Workstation???
