I am trying to load NT4 on my system but it will not see my 10GB hdd.  Is
there a limit on HDD size?  If not how can I get the NT install to see all
of my harddrive?  Currently it is only seeing 8GB of the drive.

TIA

It's based on your BIOS and windows NT old IDE.SYS files. If you install NT
on your drive and use 8Gb of the 10Gb drive and run Service PACK 4,5, or 6
you should see the extra 2Gb. If not then the problem is with your BIOS of
your motherboard. Try upgrading your BIOS of  your Motherboard
