NT repair disks and large IDE Drives

by mdot_tech . Updated 24 years, 5 months ago

We have recently started to recieve systems here with hard drives larger than 8.4GB that were normally supported by the NT repair disks. Whenever we try to recover an NT installation using the repair disk lately, we are greeted with a message stating that the drive installed is larger than 1024 cylinders and cannot be repaired. I’ve looked at a couple of MS Knowledge base posts about this, but they were no help at all. Whats the trick to building an NT repair disk to recover a damaged installation on something bigger than a 8.4 GB drive??

Thanks
