Win2k Server is reporting my 20G HD as 8G. According to MS
Knowledge Base Artical 254769 there is hot fix for this
issue ( Q254769_2k_sp1_x86_en.exe ). Can someone tell me
where I can get this hotfix from? I have Service Pack 4
installed on my computer. Thanks

If you have SP1 or later it looks like you should have it. Check the
date/time stamps on the files to confirm that they're equal or later than.

Also this is a hardware limitation and occurs independently of the operating
system. This should not be an issue on a newer computer if their BIOS
supports INT13 Extensions and this feature is turned on, which it is by
default. Also this article may help.

Setup Does Not Check for INT-13 Extensions Before Creating System Partition
