HELP!!! NT 4.0 STILL WON'T INSTALL!!

Some of you may remember my malady from a few days ago...I'm attempting to install NT 4.0 on onto one of my rigs. I have a problem, though. After my setup disks are copied during the setup process, I hit a bump in the road...the screen tells me that my harddrive has more that 1024 cylinders and cannot continue installation because of this...help.

I'm using a burned copy of, quite probably, a very old version of NT4.0. I've attampted setup on two harddrives;1. a brand new Maxtor 20gig drive;2. a half gig seagate drive. I get the same msg. I'd like to download a service pack, but don't I need to have NT4 already installed? (I'm assuming this because it seems as if there is an installer program being downloaded first during the svc. pack download).
 
You need to create a 2 gig partition on your primary drive. You should have an option for this when you are in NT setup. You need to install NT of the first two gigs of your primary, active partition.
 
NT need to be in the first 2GB of the drive, create a 2GB fat16 or NTFS and try again, note NT 4 will not read fat32.
