Thanks for your help on the partition. It worked like a charm! Any
recommendations on a "SBS for Dummies" type book written specifically for R2
Premium that would save me asking simple questions that I can't find answers
for in online help?
Moving on to job 1 (hosting my website), my registrar provided me with
primary and secondary DNS names and confirmation of my domain name, but
nothing else. During setup, I was prompted for my domain name, which I
supplied. It also prompted for DNS servers in IP address format. I assumed
that I should use my ISP's DNS values, rather than my registrar's since my
registrar's was in the XX.XXX.com and XX2.XXX.com format. Is there another
input field for registrar's DNS names?
Thanks.

It's a P4-2.4, 768MB RAM, repurposed PC with an 80GB single drive (I have a.
250GB waiting in the wings that I can drop in as a second drive as needed),
loaded with SBS 2003 R2 Premium running in single NIC mode, destined to be
used as a home server. None of it's work will be mission-critical, but
rather to help me learn more about the capabilities of the server. My near
term goals are to:
1) host a website for which I own a domain name
2) host new email addresses that I will create
3) use the server to back up our 5 home desktops/notebooks.
4) explore Sharepoint and how it can be used in a home / home-based small
business environment.
5) host an FTP server
I plan to always keep my primary existing emails hosted by an ISP while I
bump my head getting the Exchange Server working right. Regarding the single
NIC decision, I tried to read up in advance and went single NIC, to prevent
wreaking havoc with the family's internet connectivity while I noodled
around. I'm considering dropping in a second NIC and using SBS with a spare
wireless router that I have, configuring it for use with SBS. If everything
works, then great. If it doesn't, I can default back to the regular router
that I am CERTAIN will work while I keep tinkering while the family sleeps -
lol.
Load should be extremely light with a sporadic duty cycle.
Thanks for asking, I appreciate your advice.

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?
