If your boot drive is going to use FAT32, you can always just boot from a Win98 floppy and then copy the i386 folder to the HDD, then run WINNT.exe and follow the instructions.

That should do it.

If your boot drive will be using NTFS, then boot using the NT boot floppies, activate the CDROM drive and then run WINNT.exe from the CD and you should be on your way.

Other than that, you may have a hardware problem.
Even if you are booting from a controller that WinNT does not reconize, you should still get a Blue Screen that says INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE.

BTW activate SMARTDRV.exe before you try to copy the i386 folder or running WINNT.exe. It will save you at least 10-20 minutes of waiting for the machine to copy files.
