We are trying to install WinNT 4.0 but we are doing something wrong with the partitions of our harddrive.
When we trying to install WinNt we get a error that de partitions aren't right.
How must we partitions our harddrive and must we format them or not.
Our harddrive are 1.5 GB
 
You should not be having any problems with a 1.5 g drive. Are you trying to install over a Win98 installation? If the drive is partitioned as Fat32, NT4 will not install (at least, I have never been able to do it. Any help from others?)
 
You might want to fdisk first. Then when you install NT, you will be given option of formatting with FAT or NTFS.
 
You might also try a third party app like Partition Magic. This app will tell you how your partitions are formatted and non-destructively re-format them for you.
