Ah OK... I'm in general agreement with the previous posters then... probably gonna have to let the RAID controller make a volume out of it before NT will see it.

Good question. In the Windows Storage area along with "Disk Management", there is "Disk Management (Dell OpenManage Array Manager)". Unfortunately, it doesn't give me the ability to create a logical drive. Paul From: Steven M.

Where does it show up as "unknown" if the Dick Admin MMC isn't seeing it? -sc From: Paul Everett [mailto:evere...@leementalhealth.org] Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2010 10:10 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Basic hard drive config question, probably. I have an old Dell PowerEdge 2600 which is my Exchange Server. It has a perc 4 controller with 2 channels. Channel 0 has two mirrored drives and channel 1 has three RAID 5 drives. There is an extra drive bay that I want to use as an independent drive (drive E:), but when I insert it it becomes an unknown drive on channel 0. It does not show up in Windows Disk Management. Is this something I can correct in the bios and if so, what do I need to change?
