How hot is a hard drive allowed to get? As my SATA drive seems to be almost burning hot.

Also, i have a SBS 2000 server which is low on disk space so i threw a spare 200GB in, and it only sees 137GB.....Where did the rest go? Its running 2000 SP4, so technically shud be able to address 200gigs, I was reading somthing about a registry key enablebiglba ? see here (www.48bitlba.com)

Yup you will have to edit the registry as you have found .
I had a Win2k SP4 machine the other day that I upgraded the HDD to a 640GB SATA and it wouldn't see the whole thing until I did the registry change .
