We have an upgrade to W2K SBS and have misplaced the install book. Does
anyone know how much free disk space you need to UPGRADE from 4.5 to W2K
SBS? I know they say 4 Gig, but what do you actually need for the upgrade to
to run? We will only be using Exchange and the Fax service which will both
be run on a different partition
Thanks,

Hi Jimbo,

4 gig is fine, see this KB for specifics:

Hi Jimbo,

Sorry, I didn't see where the partition was only 2 gb. That won't work. You
have some options:

Ghost or equivalent to resize the partition(s).
Ghost or equivalent to resize/copy partition to a larger disk.

Clean install, restore data from backup.
