Hi,
Dell ships the Optiplex GX1 with an 8GB hard drive that has two partitions,
a FAT system partition (C:\) and another of your choice (FAT or NTFS).
I want the system partition to be NTFS and I want one partition to fill the
8GB drive. When I ran NT setup and deleted all previous paritions, made
one large partition (8056 MB) and selected it as the system installation
partition, Setup complained that the partition was too large.
How can I get NT to boot from a single, 8GB NTFS partition?
Thanks,
Carl
