    I have installed NT on 13.4 Gb HDU........

    I downloaded ATAPI.SYS from Microsoft ftp site to install NT on a partition greather than 4 Gb.
    But during installation - after loading the appropriate atapi drive - I can format partition only 4 Gb (fat or ntfs).
    Where I fault?
    Thanks

    If you are formatting with fat you will still be limited to 4 gigs. However, if you installed the SP4 atapi driver you should be able to access past 8 gigs.

    Just a thought... NTFS partitions are first formatted FAT 16 then converted om first boot to NTFS...
