The maximum size for the boot partition of an NT 4 (and I believe Win2K) system is 4 GB (7.8 GB if you jump through some hoops) so you're 10 GB partition is totally out of the question. See MS KB article Q119497 for an explanation of the workarounds.

Second of all, if you are using FAT32, you are also out of luck. NT 4 can not read FAT32 drives.

You're best bet (IMO) is to decrease the size of the boot partition and install Win2K instead. It can utilize FAT32 drives. If that is not an option, Partition Magic can convert your drive format for you without losing any data. Convert it to FAT and install NT 4.

Partition Magic is a product of Powerquest Corp. You can get it from there or www.beyond.com has it for $63 US.

HTH.
