adding new disk win2k pro
I have an old 2k box that is more of a test box than anything.
The PC is rather old by today's standards. Its a dual pII 300mhz IBM Intellistation with the most current available bios (dated sometime in 97).
However, as of recently, I've been using it as storage for all the CDs that I'm ripping.
I outgrew my first 120 gig drive and need to add another drive.
(yes... 110gigs so far of LEGAL mp3s. )
I currently have two 4 gig primary disks that just store the OS and very little else.
(The occasional utility, av, and fw. )
I also have two 120 gig drives that I'd like to have in there.
The first 120 gig drive formatted at 114 gigs.
When I go to add the second 120 gig drive, it is recognized.
But, it won't let me create a parition or format it.
Why would this happen? Am I limited to the number of disks I can have on 2kpro?
They allow me to have four IDE devices. Before it was 3 primary and one cdrom.
I have removed the cdrom as I have no need for it. I can access anything over my network that I'd need.
I have attached a pic so you can see exactly what I'm talking about.
Thanks for your help in advance!
