Cuando estoy instalando NT 4.0 Me manda el mensaje " Setup
is unable to locate the hard drive partition prepared by
the MS-DOS portion of setup". ya he hecho lo siguiente:
1.- cambiado disco duro
2.- instalar desde DOS
3.- instalar desde Windows 95 y 98
4.- Instalar con los 3 discos de inicio
5.- Instalar desde el CDROM con Winnt.exe y sus opciones.
6.- recrear particiones con fdisk y reinstalar todo.

pero me da el mismo error , alguien sabe algo al respecto?
Gracias.

For this problem:

"Setup is unable to locate the hard drive partition prepared by the MS-DOS
portion of setup. When you run the MS-DOS Windows NT Setup Program, you
must specify a temporary drive that is supported by WINNT. See your system
guide for more info."

On install disk #2 delete the file named winnt.sif and start the install
again. Winnt.sif may instruct Windows NT Setup to look for installation
files in a temporary directory on the hard disk instead of a CD-ROM, if the
file doesn't exist, setup will look for the files on the cd-rom.
