I wasn't aware you could have a 4 gig FAT partition with NT. You can only have 2gig if you format the drive with dos first, because that's dos's upper limit. I guess you are saying you can repartition to 4 gig, or would you use NT to partition the drive, say from the CD? My normal routine involves creating a 2 gig dos partition and copying the i386 folder from the cd, then doing a winnt /b install from c:\i386.
