Subj : Re: NT installation problem To : Glen From : Ernesto DiSabatino Date : Wed Feb 28 2001 07:47 pm From: "Ernesto DiSabatino" See http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q224/5/26.ASP for the answer to the 8GB problem. I just came across this trying to figure out how to install NT4 on top of Win2000. Has anyone done this? The NT4 doesn't need much in the way of access to the Win2K system, but I have a very robust Win2K install that is my primary work machine. I need the NT4 for some other development tools that only work in NT. I have partition magic and can convert the Win2K partitions to whatever (currently Fat32).
