Sorry, my bad typing (copy and paste by fingers not mouse -;).
I have corrected above. The 4Gb FAT16 is only a placeholder,
I intend to use partition magic from NT and resize C: to 6Gb.
I have also tried without teh 4Gb FAT16 and the problem is the same.

I suspect that anaconda somehow manages to write a partition table that
NT4 can't handle.
