How do I format and partition a drive for Win2k Server? The machine is currently FAT32 and the Win2k does not recognize there is a drive in it.

Also, what is the largest drive that Win2k can see?

When you run the install, do you get a screen that asks what file system you want to use? If not, you should at least have the ability using the setup program to either format the partition with ntfs, or remove the partition and re-create it as ntfs.
In regards to the largest size, I currently have a 120gb hard drive (1 partition) that Win2K sees w/o problems.

Right-click My Computer, Manage, Disk Management.

You may just need to assign it a drive letter. If you want to repartition it or reformat it, you do it from that utility as well.
