Thanks again to those of you who provided invaluable
assistance towards my effort to get NT4 up and going
on a 40 gig WD hard drive.

It finally seems to be Ok but I am using SP5 and staying
away from 6a. I reformatted and reloaded, finally.

NT did not have the file Wininet.dll nor amp.dll, which
I had to chase down off the 'net.

Now if I can get the balance of the drive formatted in NTFS
partitions, and leave a chunk for Linux, all will be super,
except I don't think this is going to be as sturdy as OS/2
Warp 4.5.

Is there some trick about creating additional NTFS partitions?
Do they have to be "extended partitions" or some such?

Allan Ballard
