You will most likely need to do an initial install of NT with an 8GB limitation. After NT is Installed, load the latest NT service pack. Then you’ll be able to format and modify the leftover space of your Hard Disk. You could also use one of the following ways to get the requirement large storage space on your desktop / controller. 1) There is a ‘large disk patch’ available under Microsoft Windows web site under Service pack 4. Try to use this to create large disk sizes. However, to us this feature, you will need to have Windows NT installed on your machine. 2) Install the hard drive into another desktop using Windows NT operating system. The 2nd hard drive can be installed as a secondary hard disk drive. You could use the ‘disk administrator’ function under Windows NT to create a large size drive onto another storage device.
