Re: NT4 and TS2K?

["Philippe Lhermie" <philippe.lhermie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

First, I want to thank all of those who gave me some ideas: Chris, Ullrich
and you.

I did this way to create only one 6 Go NTFS partition but unfortunately this
doesn't work with me.
When I tried to install NT on it :
I had a message like "Win NT does not recognize this format"
May be a work around is then to "Repair" by using the 3 setup floppy disks.

look at www.ntfaq.com

I'll try other "experiments" next week end.

Regards,
Philippe

I believe you can also take the drive out, put it in another NT box as a
secondary drive, format the whole thing as NTFS then put it back in the
original PC and load NT.

I looked up the problem and if your IDE controller supports "extended
translation" then your boot and/or system partition can exceed 1024
cylinders.     These IDE controllers are identified as "enhanced IDE" or
EIDE controllers and I believe have been standard on all new computers for
the last few years.   If your IDE controller is not EIDE than you can
purchase an EIDE controller very cheaply.    Therefore with EIDE you need
only 1 partition for your entire hard drive, from what I read.

If you want to persist with your current configuration I would have allowed
more space for your C: drive then you did, at least 1 Gig, but otherwise
your scheme seems OK.
