You can´t install NT on a partition > 4 GB (by tricking around with boot disks and files of servicepack 4 or above, normally 2 GB), but when it is installed with SP >4, you can use all of your HD.
Best way to install is, to make a 2 GB partition (since you won´t be looking for drive letter troubles, also make all the partitions, that you want to use lateron), install it on the 2 Gig partition, install SP6a, and then format / set up all the other partitions.
Have fun

I think what you have done is install NT on a partition over 6.4GB (1024 cylinders) This requires "int13" support from the bios, and Microsoft boot loader, of which the latter is the problem. Just make sure NT is installed before the 6.4gb point, and it will boot.
