I am running W2K Pro on my home desktop and have two drive running. I'm
using an older 8 Gb drive to run the OS and a newer 30 Gb drive to run the
Apps. After installing the OS and setting everything up W2K only recognized
4 Gb's on the OS drive, while recognizing all 30 Gb's of the App's drive.
What went wrong during setup?

Did you partition the whole drive during install? W2K should have seen the
entire partition if you told it to use all available space. Otherwise you
have half of the primary drive with no partition.

Terry - to partition the rest of that drive, in case you don't know how,
use the W2k Disk Management applet. To get to it,
Start/Settings/ControlPanel/AdminTools/ComputerManagement
Highlight the unpartitioned space displayed in Disk Management, and
partition/format it the way you want using the action scrolldowns up top.
