Re: Creating a partition in unpartioned space

Create your Extended partition and Logical Drives
Name & Format them. (NTFS of course)

p.s. In the interest of saving you hassles later....
Is this a "real" sever or just a workstation you're testing SBS on ?
What's you load, and Disk Subsystem ?

When setting up SBS on a spare computer that formerly ran Win XP Pro, I
elected to repartition the existing hard drive. I allocated 30GB to the
C:
partition for system files. Setup didn't prompt me to create a D:
partition,
so I never did. Now, I'm fully installed, but have no access to the
balance
of my hard drive. How can I create a D: partition now to access the
balance
of my hard drive?
