Have you tried letting the NT boot disks handle the partitioning/formatting
of the drive(s)??

Take your DOS 6.2 disk and boot from it. Then FDISK and delete all partitions.
Next use the FDISK /MBR command. Then use your NT diskettes and install NT and
allow it to create the partitions. This should fix it for you.

How about, Load Windows 95 first, then install NT from withn 95, after NT
is installed convert to NTFS if desired and delete the Windows 95
directory, maybe a bit messy, but I can't see you getting a clean install
at the moment ;)
