Which partition do you plan to put NT on and do you have anything else installed on the other partitons?

The reason that I ask is that it is often times easier to delete the other partitions, D & E, and let NT form it's own partitions during setup. You may have noticed that there is no NT version of FDisk. It sounds like you have a hard drive larger than 8GB and a version of NT 4.0 without service pack 3. If this is the case it can't be installed properly.

Here is the remedy that I have taken in the past to remedy this.
(1.) Delete all the partitions except for C: which has Windows 98 on it.
(2.) Start NT setup, let it create it's own partition of 2GB (D:).
(3.) Install NT on this partition.
(4.) Once NT is running, install service pack 3 or greater.
(5.) Open Disk Administrator in NT and set-up the rest of your partitions.
