Use a win98 or 95 startup disk with fat32 support to fdisk and change to fat16. This will limit your size to 2047MB, then nt will see your drive and install. After you install nt and service pk6a convert c: fs:/ntfs to change to ntfs

I should add that when you type fdisk, it will ask if you want to support large disk support, you should answer NO!!! to enable
fat 16 support!!!

Or do it the standard way and use the NT cdrom. Either boot it from the bios or use a boot disk with cdrom drivers. By using the NT install you can create a 4gig partition which NT will install into. You can during the install [it will ask you] convert to ntfs. Just realize that if you do and you want to do multiboots in the future you will be limited to what you will be able to boot [w2k, xp only]
