Forgive the newbie here, but I recently installed Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition R2 on my new server. It only seems to recognize a 11.9 gb hd in 'My Computer.' But in device manager, it shows my 160 gb & 80 gb hd's. Why do they not appear in 'My Computer.' Any solutions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

No much in the way of machine specs, Google has nothing for N/A !!

Could it be your N/A BIOS does not support the drives ??

5115 you may want to get a book on 2003 as a referance.

Drive letters don't show up in My Computer until they are established via Disk Manager.

Sounds like you need to go into DM and init and format the drives which in turn will assign them drive letters.

Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.
