I'm trying to install NT on IBM Thinkpad 600E with a 60 gb hd for a friend. I keep getting message saying " setup cannot format the partion. C: New (Unformatted) 57217 MB on 8063 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus ) on atapi because it is too large". When I go back to Nt Workstation setup to create partion unable to do it. No floppy, only cd drive. Please any help would be appreciated. Thank U.

You may check this for yourself, but I think the maximum size that windows setup will allow for a FAT32 partition is 32GB. Either use the NTFS system, or make a sensible size for the windows partition of about 8 -10GB, and a second, third partition for data. OR you could format it with a third party software.... windows setup will then cope with it even if larger than 32GB..
