Your boot partition under NT cannot be larger than 4GB; it's a limitation of the loader, even though NTFS will support huge partition sizes. You can convert your existing partition from FAT to NTFS using the NT command line utility CONVERT; to change to NTFS, enter the command:
CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS
You'll need to reboot after running CONVERT. Once the drive is converted to NTFS, you can expand it by creating a Volume Set using the Disk Administrator tool. Your system partition is limited to a 4GB size, For details on alternatives in allocating disk space, you might want to check
John Savill's NT FAQPartition Magic will allow you to make a contiguous, single NTFS volume of maximum supportable size without the need to create a volume set.
