I got a 15GB HDD & I wanted to create C: drive as 6GB but during NT 4 install, it doesn't allow me to create a 6GB partition.
How do I create a 6GB partition during NT 4 install?

I'm not able to get this file :
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-unsup-ed/fixes/nt40/atapi/ATAPI.EXE

Any idea how to go about it?
Thanks

The updated ATAPI.SYS is in Service Pack 4 and up and can be extracted with WinZip. You can also get it here:

FYI:

What I do with NT is copy the CD to HDD and replace the ATAPI.SY_ file in i386 with the Service Pack version. I then burn it back to CD. You can't boot from it, but a floppy startup works fine.
