Ok, I know this is way off topic for this forum, but there are a lot of smart people here that may know the answer. I'm getting desperate so I thought I would give it a shot here.
I'm attempting to upgrade the hard drives in my Windows NT 4.0 server (SP6a). The problem is the old story about the 8GB limitation. Service Pack 4 or greater was suppose to take care of this but this dosnt seem to be the case, (in my case anyway). After installing a new 120gb drive, Disk Administrator only sees 8gb. My bios shows the right size drive but NT dosnt. I've gone to microsoft, and googled for two days now but I cant find anthing short of reinstalling Windows NT. Does any one know of a short cut or a workaround to get an existing NT server to recognize a larger than 8gb drive?
