For the gurus: Problem with NT SP6a and Boot partitions over 7.8GB

OK...I don't know how well known it is but occasionally when installing sp6 on a system with a boot partition over 7.8GB, it will cause a BSOD. The only (known) way around it is to ghost the system, upload the image, resize the partition and then download the image back to the newly resized partition. This is quite a time consuming process as you might imagine.

Just curious if others had encountered this and if there was a better work around.

Thanks for any insight!
 

this is old old stuff. 8GB limit
there have to be gobs of stuff on google about this
just make a 2GB primary active, nothing else, load O/S
use part mag 7 (manipulates NTFS) immediately after to resize primary, make others
i believe you can use NT4 disk manager to do same after install, but its been so long not sure

why would anyone still use NT4?


btw - op sys forum would yield more answers
