If you go into Disk Management, can you see the boot partition at the correct size - 16GB?
Is there a disk quota on that drive?

At the end of installation, I have just about 500MB disk space free. Has anyone seen this before? </short attention span summary> This has been a bit of an annoyance for a few days now. I have a Dell 1655MC Blade server which I'm installing Windows 2003 Server on. I boot from the CD and perform a clean install - wiping out previous partitions, formatting, etc. Now the disk space numbers are correct for my partitions during the setup (16GB OS partition and 60GB applications partition) but after I complete the install of Windows 2003, it shows an available disk space report of just 500MB left on that 16GB drive with JUST the OS installed. I've begun a search on Google ("Windows 2003 Installation Low Disk Space" and variants) but maybe I'm not searching with the proper query. Has anyone else seen this?
