This is an IDE disk ?

To utilise large IDE hard disks with NT setup, you need to
provide, at install time, the ATAPI.SYS driver from NT Service
Pack 4.
You can download ATAPI.EXE from Microsoft which is a self
extracting file whose contents you place on diskette. This has
the .SYS driver and the .INF file.

During setup, it will ask to detect mass storage devices. You
press S and provide the diskette with the updated ATAPI driver.

There is a KB article on the MS site that describes this in more
detail.
