Sorry I did not see any links to continue my thread but only to start a new topic.

I should have mentioned first that I am using an Eval NT CD. It won't self-boot. During the installation [using the boot disk] a screen comes up and says..."setup is unable to locate the hard drive partition prepared by the MS-DOS portion of setup. When you run the MS-DOS Windows NT setuo program, you must specify a temporary drive that is supported by Windows NT. Setup cannot continue.
Then the only option is F3 Exit.

Again I have FAT16 partitions. C:\2047MB D:\2047 E:\2047 etc... Windows98 is on C:\ The other partitions are empty but they all have DOS partitions becuz I typed format ?:/s [?= drive letter] It's a PIII 500MHz 128MBRAM.

Thanks again
