Make sure youre not building it on fat32 because fat32 has a file size limit of 2 or 4 gigs. Second, when you build the iso make sure you are creating it as an UDF ISO. If you create an iso greater than 4 gigs without specifying UDF itll be corrupt. -gosh

Try the basics: Does it happen in safe mode? Does it happen in a full clean boot using msconfig to disable the startup items? It also sounds like you might have an autorun.inf on your C root. -gosh

meh11 is right, just change the driver letters in the registry. Windows XP adds the drive letters as they are enumerated.

Server 2008 x64 should see all 4 gigs fine. I run server2008 x64 at home with 4 gigs of ram and it shows all 4 gigs without any problems. I've never used any switches such as /pae to get it to work.
