You can try installing NT 3.5 from the floppies until you reach
the point where it asks you to reboot the machine for the first
time. This only takes a few floppy copies.
At this point you should be able to start the NT 4.0
installation. Make sure to do a full reinstall, not an upgrade.
I've never tried this with NT but something similar works for
most Microsoft software since the upgrade usually looks for a few
critical files before starting.
