Drive Summary

The drive summary lists all local fixed-disk drives. For each drive, the existing SQL Server version 6.5 data file size, proposed SQL Server 2000 data file size, and free space are listed. On the Options menu, select Freespace includes 6.5 files to view the free space that would exist if the SQL Server 6.5 data files were deleted. This option shows the disk space available if the upgrade is performed using tape and the SQL Server 6.5 devices are deleted.
