I had created the emulated hard drive too small, and it was filling up.
Just for the record, 4 GB seems large enough for Windows 2000, if you
install your applications elsewhere. It's the kind of hard drive
emulation that doesn't actually write a chunk of file until that piece of
emulated hard drive is written to, so the files total 2.8 GB and growing.
Odd, Windows thinks there are 3.7 GB on that disk. Time to cull the
disk...

Yes it is, but it's moot anyhow, because when operating locally, Ghost
only works when you reboot from a special floppy. Can't reboot or go
single-user (renooting is a scripting nightmare, and cron doesn't run in
runlevel 1).
