SQL Server 2000 - Gettin Arithmetic Error with query

I am gettin this Error, from my SQL query below, what am I missing:

Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric

Code:

SELECT     FullUrl AS SiteUrl, CAST(CAST(CAST(DiskUsed AS decimal(10, 2)) / 1024 AS decimal(10, 2)) / 1024 AS Decimal(10, 2)) AS 'Total Size in MB'
FROM         Sites
WHERE     (FullUrl LIKE '%sites%') AND (FullUrl <> 'MySite') AND (FullUrl <> 'personal')

you only need to cast the value coming from the database. in your case DiskUsed, not the actual numbers. try this:

sql Code:

Original - sql Code
SELECT FullUrl AS SiteUrl, CAST(DiskUsed AS decimal(10, 2))/1024/1024 AS 'Total Size in MB' FROM Sites WHERE (FullUrl LIKE '%sites%') AND (FullUrl <> 'MySite') AND (FullUrl <> 'personal')

SELECT     
    FullUrl AS SiteUrl, 
    CAST(DiskUsed AS decimal(10, 2))/1024/1024 AS 'Total Size in MB'
FROM Sites
WHERE (FullUrl LIKE '%sites%') AND (FullUrl <> 'MySite') AND (FullUrl <> 'personal')
