Where did View Taskpad go...

Hello, all. Running SQL 2005. In SQL 2000, if I wanted to quickly see how
much disk & log space I had available; I could simply right-click the
database name in EM, then View...Taskpad. The screen would quickly show me
the information regarding my database size, allocated space, and remaining
free space. Seems that's now gone away in SQL 2005, or possibly I'm looking
in the wrong place. Can anyone tell me where View...Taskpad has gone, or how
to quickly see the remaining storage space for a database.

Thanks

Follow up...I found out the equivalent. Under Summary...Report(s) there's a
ton of disk usage reports. However, since my databases were migrated from
SQL 7 & SQL 2000, they had Compatibility Level set at SQL 7 or SQL 2000, and
not SQL 2005. Setting each database to level SQL 2005, enabled these reports
to show up.
