>>I don't beleive it can be done since your need SP3 + hotfixes Speculatively, one should be able to clone an install that had SP4 or SP3+atafix to a larger partition. Put it another way; if I can't reinstall NT that way, I don't want it in a large partition. How would I reinstall it? How would I refresh the existing install if something gets corrupted? A partial answer might be that NT seems to handle large partitions ok right off the cd (service pack 1); it's creating and formatting where it apparently fails without ATAFix, though I certainly haven't tested that exhaustively. But I sure couldn't boot it. I cloned it AFTER installing SP4 and it wouldn't boot in a large partition. It was the boot itself - I never saw the NT boot (as specified in boot.ini). Clone of same system in a smaller partition booted right up. These partitions were created by an SP4 NT and/or an SP3+ATAFix NT.
