    Hello all,

    REALLY hoping someone might be able to help me out with a problem. I am using the above MOBO for my new install of a Windows Home Server. I bought two 1 TB Western Digital Caviar Hard Drives. When I go into the BIOS, it shows the first drive as the correct size (1000 GB) but only shows the 2nd drive as 33 Gig. Furthermore, when I actually go into WHS and look at "My computer" it shows two drives. C: is only 20 Gig and that is expected, D: (which I'm pretty sure is a partition) is something like 931 Gig, also expected. It makes no mention what so ever of the actual 2nd hard drive.

    Any ideas? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated :) Thanks in advance.

    That is normal for Windows Home Server, it doesn't work with drive letters. It has a C drive which contains the server OS, the D drive will be the 'pool' of remaining hard drive space, no matter how many (physical) hard drives there are connected.
