Yeah, I am. And I think the boot file situation will work. I have a set I
made for the same server, when I was trying to boot the dead SCSI drives.
So let me give that a shot. I think that will help.... one or both of
these. Funny... I asked around my senior people what they thought I could
do, uh... gee... you can't do nothin, install 2000. (Siebel 6.5 doesn't
support Windows 2000)
Thanks guys!!!

You could also, replace the ATAPI.SYS file on the CD - obviously make a copy
of the CD to your hard drive, replace the file and then re-cut a bootable
NT4 install CD... We had this issue years ago when Dell started shipping
10Gb IDE drives in their servers ! I am assuming you are talking about IDE
drives at a size of 20Gb ????

Jennifer,
I think you can accomplish this by building the boot floppies, then
replacing the ATAPI.SYS file with the newer one. I think I had to do this
many moons ago...

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
