go to nt 4.0 cd directory i386
type winnt \ox
to create 3 bootable disk
create either fat16 or ntfs partition w/
a 2 gig drive, then i would suggest partition the other 18 gigs and in 3 6 gigs drives. either do that or get spf4 so nt will allow the other 18 gigs used.

WINDOWS NT CAN ONLY RECOGNIZE TO A MAXIMUM OF 8GB BUT WINDOWS 98 CAN RECOGNIZE ALL THE 20GB. IF THE PROBLEM COULD BE THE BIOS THEN HOW COME WINDOWS 98 CAN BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE ALL THE HARD DISK?
