I built a webserver of spare parts. I have 3 hard drives. I fully erased everything on all 3. Then installed 2K. It only recognizes one of the drives because it didn't format the other 2. How can I format those w/o installing the OS on each of them seperately? Any help I would love, my e-mail is willib@lycos.com. Plz send it there if you can. Thanks ~Brandon

make sure your bios is picking them up too. and make sure you have your IDE cables hooked up ok too. if you can see them in disk management in the computer management window you are set. if not, try that, and make sure the jumpsers are set appropriatly. once you pick them up, fdisk them w/ a win98 boot disk from dos, if you can and then ntfs them w/ win2k. make them basic or dynamic depending on what you need. aight
