RTN,
With NT4.0 you use FAT16 for your boot partition. the actual OS can be either FAT16 or NTFS. If you want to use FAT32 you must use Win2K as it will support FAT32/FAT16/NTFS formats. Are you wanting to Dual boot or run a single OS? When we know this we can help you figure out what would be the best way to proceed in your system setup.

Yes you can use FDISK to create your partitions and then you will need to format the partition (durning the NT4.0 install it will give you the option of setting up the partiton either using FAT16 or NTFS)

One of the most important things to do is :
Do not alow large disk support when you fdisk .
Because nt will not recognise the partition if you do
