Re: Installing additional HDD
hi thomas, In the office, I have one local HDD with two partitions, C and D. TB's program files reside on C, mailbase on D. What I intend to do is to add another physical HDD with another two partitions. If I understand Windows correctly, C will then be the first partition on HDD0, D will be the first partition on HDD1, E is the second on HDD0 and F is the second on HDD1. This is Windows default and I cannot change anything about it - if this is incorrect, please let me know! you don't mention the version of windows you're running or if the partitions on the new hdd will be logical or primary. no matter, i think your assumption is incorrect ... at least for win2k and winxp. via disk management, you have the ability to assign/reassign drive letters as you see fit. i have 8 hdd's and do it all the time. check it out ... settings - control panel - administrative tools - computer management - disk management. if drive letters aren't the way you want them after installing the new hdd, temporarily reassign a new letter to the partition with the letter you want (e.g., D - Q) ... that frees up D for reassignment. then go to E, make it D, go to Q, make it E, and so on. drop me a line off list if i'm not being clear. thanks/regards, .. -- Current version is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

This is Windows default and I cannot change anything about it - if this is incorrect, please let me know! The driveletter numbering you're mentioning is correct if you create a primary partition on the new HDD. If you plan to use the second HDD for data only, you can choose to NOT create a primary partition on the new harddisk, but only logical partitions. This way, your existing drive letters won't be mixed up. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de) Around us are pseudo-events, to which we adjust with a false consciousness adapted to see these events as true and real, and even as beautiful. -- R.

Re: Installing additional HDD
hi thomas, The first partition on the new HDD will be primary, the second logical. Does it matter? could be mistaken but think the only reserved letter is c: for the active primary partition. why do you need two primary partitions? why not make all partitions on the second hdd logical? I also have two partitions on Disk 0 that show Healthy (Unknown partition). One is 502MB, the other a whopping 11.83GB, both of them 100% free. What are these partitions? Right-clicking on them allows me to delete logical drive. Do I want to do that to have access to the space the space? dunno but all i can say is delete with extreme caution. for partition maintenance, i would recommend an application such as acronis disk director or symantec partition magic ... those tools tell you much more about what's on your hdd than winxp tools. for example, they can tell you that the partitions are formatted for another OS instead of just being unknown. good luck! thanks/regards, .. -- Current version is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I see little sense to use PST files in an environment with an Exchange server. Defeats the whole purpose of the thing. :-) Well, if I were using the Outlook client, which maintains a local cached copy of my mailbox, that would be reasonable EXCEPT that if I use the Exchange server to store my emails, it also stores my appointments and contacts there. Since my client (in a business sense) owns the Exchange server, I don't want to store all my appointments and contacts, most of which have nothing to do with them, on their system. I would be concerned about my privacy, and also I don't really have any right to store my information on their system. Since there is no way (as far as I know) to store my contacts and appointments locally, but leave my emails on the server, I have to store all of them locally. I did hope that by using TB's Exchange mode, I could set things up to directly access the Exchange server from TB, and tell Outlook always to work offline so that my contacts and appointments would only be stored locally, but that doesn't work. The other problem is that TB can't do anything with meeting invitations that are sent via Exchange. They just stay in the Exchange inbox and never appear in TB. So I have to maintain Outlook connected to the Exchange server to see those. -- Robin Using The Bat! v3.80.03 Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Popfile v0.22.3 Current version is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
