JSI Tip 2295. NTFS Corruption on Drives Larger Than 4 GB When Using Windows NT ExtendOEMPartition?

Microsoft has written Knowledge Base article Q185773 that describes the symptoms and resolution of the subject problem. I quote the symptom section of the article:

    Using Winnt.exe unattended installation from an MS-DOS FAT partitionon a drive exceeding 4 GB may cause NTFS corruption. Unattended installationparameters would be specified as follows in the Unattend.txt file:       [Unattended]      OemPreinstall = yes      FileSystem = ConvertNTFS      ExtendOemPartition = 1    When starting for the first time after the Windows NT installation is complete,NTFS corruption will be identified either by the inability to successfully startbecause of missing or corrupted files or by the following CHKDSK messages:       CHKDSK is verifying indexes...      Correcting error in index %I30 for file 100      Correcting error in index %I30 for file 100      Index verification completed.      CHKDSK detected minor inconsistencies on the drive.      Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode.    If the corruption is severe enough, the computer may stop responding (hang)during the GUI-mode portion of setup or various other error messages may also occur.These error messages vary from computer to computer, but usually concern filecorruption or missing files on systems where the files actually do exist. The filesare reported as damaged or missing because the indexes for NTFS are not setup properly.
