NT and disk hardware configuration problem

I'd like some help with this problem.

This is on a PC300GL (6591-60U). Its got two IDE drives, the first
having 7546MB; the second having about 6000MB. In DOS, I partitioned
the drives into 15 logical drives. I set up DOS and Windows for
Workgroups in drives C: - F:.

I then installed Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. It did fine on the first
round. It then rebooted, resumed set up, announced "checking hardware"
and immediately,

OS Loader v4.00
Boot record signature AA55 not found (0000 found).

Windows NT could not start because of a computer disk hardware
configuration problem.
Cound not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk
hardware.
Please check the WIndows NT (TM) documentation about hardware disk
configuration and your hardware refverence manuals for additional
information.

What does this mean and what can I do about it?

TIA,

Dan
