The usual source of reduced drive space where all the user files have been
moved off the system partition is Windows Update. If you wish, you can
delete all the saved update uninstall folders, or better, move them to a
different drive. If you ever need to uninstall an update you will need the
uninstall folder.
Having said that, Server 2000 is out of mainstream support, and I would be
very surprised if you are getting enough updates to fill your drive. The
suggestion to use WinDirStat to find out what is taking up the room is a
good one.

Post by Duncan McC15Gb is normally enough for the OS drive (SBS 2000) - you have 4 x 36Gb
disks in RAID5 - begs the question, what's taking up all the space? (if
you've done all that Merv has suggested).
Download and install a copy of WinDirStat...

And get back with what's eating your drive up.

again to 500MB, is there any way to resize the scsi hard disk without
affecting the OS.
