Nope we ran into the same thing with HP's was a limit of there RAID controllers, so the new partitions we created GPT and got past the 2TB limit.

[Description: Description: Lifespan] From: Reimer, Mark [mailto:mark.rei...@prairie.edu] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2013 4:00 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: 2 TB disk size possible problem I have a raid 5 "disk" that is just under 2 TB. The server (Dell 2950) in front is Windows 2003 R2, 64 Bit. The raid unit is in a Dell MD1000 with 5 500GB disks. In Windows, it's listed as a Basic disk, with MBR Partition style. I did some Googling with conflicting answers on whether I can make it bigger and how. I think the bottom line is: I can make it bigger, but I have to reformat it as a GPT Partition (of course, saving all the data before the format, and restoring afterward). Is my research/thinking correct, or is there another option? Thanks for all help/pointers/tips.
