Jennifer,
Here is your solution: The Atapi driver that installs with NT does not support
large drives until SP 3 is installed. There is a fix. Search MS support for
"Large disk support under NT 4.0" and it should bring up the info with a link
to the appropriate driver to download. Basically during the NT install, you
stop at the point that you would install a SCSI driver and install the driver
(that you have downloaded) from a floppy. This will give you the large disk
support. When you install SP3, it will ask you if you want to overwrite the
Atapi driver and you can let it do it (basically same driver)
Good Luck,
Bob

I know this is a 2k list, but a lot of us out there still must use NT4. I
need to know if there is some way that I can slipstream in an SP4 cd into an
NT4 Server installation CD. Here's why: (and if you can help me out here too,
bonus points) I have to rebuild a generic black box server with NT4 on it to
support Siebel. I finally got 2 20G Western Digital drives installed in it,
and they are recognized. But when I try to install NT4, they come up as 7.8G
drives. A KB article I found says that SP4 has an updated Atapi.sys that will
allow formatting of large hard drives. And I *reallllly* need these larger
drives. So if anyone can help me out, you'll get a virtual beer.
Thanks much,
Jennifer
