I'm building a W2K Server that will be an SUS machine among many other things. I bought a WD 80 Gig IDE HDD, the PC I'm using (desktop) is a PII 500MHz, but the BIOS will only recognize to 32GB. WD supplies software to let the machine see all 80 Gig (EZBIOS). The trick is EZBIOS doesn't support boot from CD-ROM, so I created four W2K boot/setup disks and installed W2K server.
The problem is my W2K server only sees 8GB (the biggest boot partition it can handle IIRC). Going into Disk Administrator it does not see (mounted, unmounted or otherwise) anything other than the 8GB, soo....any idea on how to make the other 72GB visible to W2K short of System Commander? I've gone through a couple iterations of setting this machine up, and one time I did get the character-mode setup program to see 80GB of "unknown/unusable partition", but it wouldn't let me delete or do anything else with it. I'm guessing if I skip the EZBIOS I can get W2K to see the 32GB that BIOS can handle. I'm probably overlooking something obvious, so if anyone has a "DUH" answer I'd appreciate it.
