How can you make NT detect the size of a raw partition? Is it at all 
ssible?

Whoa! That sounds really neat! :-) Thanks a lot for your help!

I have learned that if you delete all partitions off the drive, then install 
NT from the diskettes, you can make NT use the entire disk in one partition.

Yeah, yeah, I was tired, and it was late at night, okay? :-)
