This is a known problem.  The system requires sp4 to use drives greater than 8
Gb.  Catch 22, you have to install the OS before you can install the SP and
hence the HD.  The solution, is to search Microsoft support site for the fix,
and download the updated IDE driver disk, and put on a floppy.  When it comes to
installation, choose not to auto detect the hard drive controller, and select it
manually.  Choose other manufacturer/have disk.  Install driver from disk.  NT
should ask if you want to Fdisk the drive itself. (Your still limited to a small
first partition [4 Gb from memory], but you can at least access the whole drive
later, and install the OS).
Hope that helps.
