I stupidly neglected to write it down. I am now beginning to suspect that
it is an NT/large disk problem instead: the disk is larger than the INT13
7.8GB maximum and NT is now refusing to start with a blue screen saying
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. Vague memories of NT4 having problems with
accessing anything beyond 7.8GB are coming back to haunt me from the days
before I gave up the NT sysadmin job.
Don't worry about it; it's almost certainly NT's fault. If it happens
again I'll make a note of all error messages.
