Installing W2K on large harddisks

[MPME]

I used to install a Windows 2000 server with a W98-like startup disk with an unattend.txt and a Windows 2000 CD ROM. This installation is fully automated.
Lately we received a server with a harddisk, which has a capacity of about 72GB. Fdisk can not partition such a large harddisk anymore. The limit is 64GB.
Does anybody know a commandline utility, which can do this job correctly, so I can still use my startup disk and automated installation?

Why are you using fdisk? An NTFS partition has a limit of like 18 terabytes. If you partition using the Windows 2000 Server CD you should be able to use the whole drive.

I'm using fdisk because I use a W98 like startup disk.
The advantage of this, is that every thing that is rather fixed for installations I put on the CD like the i386 directory, a slipstreamd service pack, third party SCSI-drivers and standard applications. Every thing that is variable like computer name, ip-adres etc I keep on the floppy disk. In that case I have a very flexible installation.
For every installation I just pick the right floppy disk (server type dependent) an the general installation CD for W2K and 1 or 2 hours later I have a fully installed server conform our standard.

Maybe u can use gdisk ?
I don't know what's its limit,
but its used in our unattend It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
