You can have the disk previously formatted in NTFS at 7.5 GB or smaller. Any larger and yoyu have potential problems with the BIOS accessing boot files (the bios can only access 7.5GB). Therefore your boot filoes must be in the first 7.5 GB of physical disk sapce. If NT is in a partiton other than the first be sure that the total of all partitons before and including NT do not exceed 7.5 GB.
initial partiton to as large a NTFS Partiton as you desire.
Previously this was impossible using Partition Magic, so
Powerquest developed ServerMagic tp perform this operation.
ServerMagic will also enlarge previously unenlargeable
NETWARE Partitons.
