any one solve me NT Prob.....

Hi, it sounds like you have an older BIOS. Some of these will ONLY allow you to see a hard drive up to 8 GIG. You will either need to upgrade your BIOS or get a different motherboard with a newer BIOS.

Best of luck.

Partition the hard drive. 4GB should be enough for anybodies NT installation

Try booting to a windows 9x boot disk and run fdisk and enable large disk support.
Then use all the available space as the primary partition.
Now try to run the setup for the windows NT you are trying to install and see what it shows.

Hope this helps and good luck.

It might also be this situation which I've run across before - NT does not want to create a partion larger than 8GB on setup. There is something buried in documentation about this. You can try creating a 20GB NTFS partition on the drive in another machine and putting it back and installing. Even if you can't get 20 to the system, you should be able to create another drive for the remaining 12GB

Hello there,

Windows NT 4.0 has some little issues when installing. Just build your boot partition as big as 4 Mb, install windows on that partition, when it is full installed then install the latest Service Pack on it, then run Disk Administrator and you will see you have all the other free space available. Also remember that when installing Windows NT 4.0 it will only allow you to create it on partition not bigger than 4 Mb, because it needs a FAT16 partition, later on you can change it and make it NTFS.

If you have any questions please e-mail me back at alberto@pancarib.com
Good luck,

No matter what you do, NT will not accept any partition size greater than 8GB during the initial installation, unless you have already formatted that drive as an NTFS drive in some other machine. Once NT is installed and you have also installed anySP later than SP4, you will be able to see all of your hard drive space and partition the remainder of it as one large extended partition if you wish. Most NT installations are done to a 4GB NTFS partition initially and then the remainder of whatever hard drive space you have can be partitioned later as an extended partition. Hope this helps!

Because of ATAPI.SYS file from Windows NT, it would not see bigger than 8G. It is NT limitation at this time and I don't see any patch from MS.(way to go MS!) Here is the link for this.

The best way I can think of is install NT on whatever the size of C partition and then use partition program(e.g. Partition Magic) to get all space. This is for your boss want to have NT. Otherwise convince him to use Windows 2000.
Asyou may know it is the best OS from MS in the history. A lot better than NT 4.0 (e.g. statble, compability with hard ware, fast performance. etc.)

Good luck.

Web JetAdmin uses Java script. I would check if I installed the Java component within I.E.
What I would do is that I will re-install I.E. 5.5. with SP2.
I wouldn't install I.E.6 on the machine.

Good luck,

Hi
Something similar happened to me.I continued with my NT installation and later installed Service Pack 4 and lo! all the disk space showed up.Hope this helps...
