Problem installing NT4 1141

[SebOno]

Hello,

I am a new user on this forum and I am trying to install NT4 build 1141 on VirtualBox 5.2 on a Windows 10 1803 host.
The TXT setup seemed to go well at first but I got this error message after it detects the DVD drivers.

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 Windows NT. See your System Guide for more information.

Setup cannot continue. Press F3 to exit.


How do I fix this? I have tried using an MS-DOS 5 boot disk to partition and format the drive, but no luck.

Use 86Box, PCem or VARCem for such old builds.

I second this, or you can use a old virtualbox version, the new ones don't like these old systems

What is your VirtualBox config for that VM?

You should check Virtual Box's boards for installation advice. If you get past the disk issue you'll likely encounter others.

Google: site:forums.virtualbox.org install "NT 4"

I used a DOS 6.22 boot disk with CD-ROM support to partition and format the drive and run setup from there and it worked.
