Set up a seperate small drive first, then once the system is up format
the new 4+ GB drive using NTFS. Your install should then work...

I have a system at home with the =following config:
Primary IDE Controller:
Disk1: Western Digital 4 gig =IDE
Disk2: 12x Mitsumi CDROM
Secondary IDE Controller:
Disk3: Maxtor 2gig IDE
Disk4: Samsung 1 gig IDE
When I try to install NT 4.0 =Server, it pops up and tells me it couldn't
find a drive to install on. Is =this because my primary drive is 4 gig and
the largest boot drive NT can =have is 2 gig?
So next I tried using switches =on the WINNT command line to tell it to use
my Maxtor 2 gig to store the =temporary files. This seemed to work, because
the NT installation continued =and copied all files there. Then it asked me
to reboot to continue with the =installation. After rebooting, I found that
the boot record was not changed =so the installation never continued! Again,
is this because the boot drive =is 4 gig in size?
How do I get around this, break =my 4 gig drive up into 2, 2 gig partitions?
Thanks!
