Creating boot partions over 4gb Durring setup

[drewber]

Hey guys a little help would be great on this one. Im trying to create a boot partition durring the setup of Windows NT, I downloaded the Service pack 4 ide driver, and specified it durring hte setup but it will not let me format a drive over 4.0gb, some one told me with that driver you could create a 7.8gb boot partition. Any assistance would be great!!! well talk to you all later.

Try connect this Harddiskt to another PC with NT installed. Format this harddisk to NTFS that is greater than 8 G. Move this hard disk back and run setup,it should able to detect more than 8 G
