this is odd.....i'm trying to install server 3.12 on a new w/d 4.3 gig h/d.
and after making a 2 gig fat 16 partition and installing dos 6.22 onto it,
then trying to install the server software. i'm halted at the point when it
asks to keep current partition or make new dos partition. it says that i
need a minimum of 4.5 mb primary dos partition and it shows it as a 3.2 mb
partition......what gives????????
some one please help me, i have also tried using partitions or smaller sizes
and still the same proble, also i didn't make any of the rest of the disk
into a partition, i left it alone.........

Thanks for any help u can provide, Bill Fastenau

FAT (16) does not recognize paritions 2gig and greater, the DOS partition for NW3.12 shouldn't be anymore than 100 MBs.
