Help! I have a W2k Pro SP1 disc, and upgraded to SP4 via
download. I attempted to use the disk mfgr software to
image copy from my old 20gb drive to a new 160gb drive,
which went horribly wrong. Bottom line I'm back to doing
a fresh install to my 160gb drive, and W2k sp1 can't
handle >137gb.

My question is, can I install W2k SP1 safely to the 137gb
it can handle? Is there any way to claim the remaining
23gb after upgrading to SP4? Whatever I do will have to
be in rebuild mode as at this point I have no functional
OS.

Thanks for any help you can provide . . .
