Tamas, do NOT trust the NT installer. It is a known bug in pre-SP4 winNT that it CANNOT SEE more than 8 gigs of a drive. A workaround is to install WinNT onto a small partition (it also cannot install onto a partition larger than two gigs....... ) and then resize the partition using a recent (and patched) version of Partition Magic from PowerQuest.
