Hello People,

I have the following problem: When I connect a WD external usb HD to the server it doesn't mount the device.I did check the Disk Manager and noticed that it sees the WD External hd as a internal hd. I have changed the drive letter to I:\ however it now sees it as an internal drive. When I do the backup I get the message that it can only take 4 gb of back up data. The external hd is a WD 160 Gb usb harddrive. When I open the drive in the explorer and ask for the properties it still says that it has 152GB availeble. The other thing I noticed is that the Diskmanager sees the device as a internal disk/partition instead of an external device.

When I plug in a USB flash drive it will see it as a external device. To me this doesn't make sence. Please if anyone has a idea how to solve this problem I would be very grateful.

Please if you have any idears....?

Thanks,
Koen
