I have an AST pentium 133 with 64 megs of memory and a 1.2 gig hard drive. The disk is clean, and i am doing a fresh install of NT 4.0 Server, and it keeps coming up with this message, I have installed it on another machine, but through windows 95.

Make sure you have disk space available for the setup-files (either fat16 or ntfs partition)! You can use the win95 rescue disk (fdisk command) to create fat partition, and convert it to ntfs during NT4 setup.

This may seem to be a simple thing but could it be you have the path typed wrong like in your subject: \winnt\c: It should be c:\winnt\ If this is the case you would infact get this error.
