Has your boot drive been partitioned?

Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Setup occasionally has problems
installing on drives that have not been partitioned. If you are having
trouble you may need to create a partition on the drive where you
plan to install Windows NT 4.0.
1 Use the FDISK DOS utility to get your disk partitioned and
ready for installation quickly:
2 Boot MS-DOS and use FDISK to create a partition on the boot
drive. The partition does not need to be formatted or made
active. With FDISK you are limited to 4 GB for your boot parti-
tion. If you need a larger boot space create a single small (e.g.,
100 MB) partition, then adjust the size during Windows NT 4.0
Setup.

Boot the system

Insert the Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, or
the Windows NT 4.0 diskettes into the floppy diskette drive.
