Hello,
While trying to install NT 4.0 I always get a message unable to locate harddrive partition prepared by MS-DOS. You must specify temporary drive thats supported by NT.

You have to make 3 boot diskettes using the winnt /ox command. You will find winnt.exe under the directory i386. Just insert the first disk and restart your computer. If you do this, it 'll probably work

I had the same problem, but then I simply made my computer boot from CD-ROM. This worked fine for me.
