Re: memory not detected in windows 2000 server
this will most likely fix your problem:
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=620131
this question has been raised in the forum a number of times.
In brief, modify the boot.ini file on your server and add "/PAE" switch at the end of the line which corresponds to the operating system.
Reboot the server and see memory >4GB on your server.
Intel's Physical Addressing Extension (PAE) allows OSs running on i386 -32 bit architecture to access memory over 4GB.
Hope it helps and dont forget to assign points:)

SolutionDid I just notice that you are running Windows 2000 Server and not Windows 2000 Advanced Server???
Well, if you are running Windows 2000 Server, then you would never be able to use more than 4GB memory as this is all Windows 2000 Server supports.
I assumed that you are running Windows 2000 Advanced Server and hence suggested you to use /PAE switch in the boot.ini to access memory over 4GB.
Hope this clarifies and dont forget to assign points:)

Re: memory not detected in windows 2000 server
be aware, that since you are not using PAE (due to the above mention advanced server problem) you will only have 1gb of system address space. this may not be a problem.
