Start in BIOS setup.

It is possible that your BIOS does not recognize the large drive.
Options:
BIOS upgrade from motherboard mfg.
Drive overlay software from drive mfg.
PCI IDE controller card.

Next, NT has a maximum size limit on the boot partition. I believe it is 4GB.

"thechas" was correct in the 4gb partition. the hd should have software depending on purchase. nt will break it up into 4gb partitions which it seems you've only have 1 active partition. that would be the prob.try xp or 2000 to over come the partition limitations.
