The drive capacity is correct. The manufacturer quotes 80G as decimal; Windows uses binary.
80X 10^9/2^30 = 74.5G.
There are two hidden partitions of about 4-5G total on the disc containing utility, diagnostic and recovery software, so you have something around 70G free.
As for Server 2003, it's not supported by Dell, so you'll need to find drivers from the various component manufacturers. You won't find Server 2K3 drivers at Dell.
As for DVD software, you'll have to find a decoder software package that works with Server.
