sounds like your log files are taking up your space ...
 
*move your log files (root\excsrvr\mdbdata\*.log ) to a drive that has enough 
space (use the server manager mmc to change the location, it will do the move 
for you automaticaly) ...
*start/ mount your databases .. 
*perform a full backup of your exchange server ... an exchange backup, not just 
a data backup ... (this will clear your log files)
 
now either move the log file location back to it's original location, or keep 
them wehre they are ... 
 
you may want to look into circular logging (only 4 log files that are rotated) 
... even though it is not recommended, it may be advisable for some situuations 
 
...
 
also check your badmail directory like suggested by another person ...

        I guess my question should be - will removing the M drive give me 
anymore drive space than what I have available now?  I moved mailboxes 
totalling 1gb of data but instead of gaining any drive space on C - I lost 
space.  The mailboxes were moved to a new storage group on a new drive and all 
of the databases have been moved to the new drive.
         
        Removing the M drive (using Microsoft's script) will not cause any lost 
data for the users?
         
        Thanks for everything so far!

                Also check the mailroot directory and delete any unwanted 
messages in case the machine has been used as an open relay (which tends to 
fill up drive space as well).

                        Try to perform a full Exchange backup using the native 
ntbackup that comes with Win 2k.

                                M: is a virtual drive, so ignore it.  Better 
still, search the MSKB for the script that removes the M: mapping.

                                I have a new customer running Win2K server and 
Exchange 2000 ( only 1 
                                server in the company).  Their C drive is out 
of space hence the 
                                Exchange IFS Drive M is also out of space.  I 
have moved the Exchange 
                                database locations, created a new storage group 
on a new drive and moved 
                                several users with the largest mailboxes to the 
new Storage Group.  Can I move
                                the physical location of Drive M?
                                
                                However, drive M is still out of space as well 
as drive C.
                                
                                Any suggestions?
                                
                                Thanks in advance,
