Had Win 2000 on an 80G drive with partitions. The C partition ran out of
space. Used the disc setup to format the drive and diskpart at the prompt to
attempt to set up partitions. When I get to the section that asks to enter
the size I want, the full disc capacity is already entered and I am unable to
change it.
Any suggestions?

Proper procedure is to partition the drive, then format it. If you are
trying to resize the existing partitions, you will probably need a third
party partitioning tool.
