Hello,

NT will work with IDE hard drives, but before SP3 (I think it was), it will only recognize smaller hard drives and/or partitions.

Gut feeling is that you found a nice large 20 GB hard drive, and are trying to use a single partition. That is not the proper way to setup a computer.

Try making your C: something like 8 GB, and deal with the rest later, after you have all of the service packs in place. You can then use Disk Administrator to make another partition, or you can try your luck with Partition Magic. Personally, I would make a C: in the 4 - 8 GB Range, and then put your Applications on a second partition, and all your data on a third partition.
