This one has me stumped, for some reason I can only access the first 2TB of my 2.7 TB RAID 5 array on my server (specs in sig). I have gone through the Intel Management console and initialized the RAID 5 array after I set it up in the configuration utility. The Intel controller is set to RAID and the Marvell controller (has a non RAID drive & my DVD-ROM drive) is set to AHCI. Windows sees the full 2.7TB but it has it broken up so that there's a 2TB partition and a 700GB partition. I can format the 2TB partition but I can't do anything with the 700GB of unallocated space at all. Do I have something installed incorrectly or did I do something wrong? This is a fresh install of Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, here's the process I followed:
- Booted into BIOS and set the Intel controller to RAID and the Marvell to AHCI
- Only hooked up the SSD and the DVD-ROM drive and installed Windows Server 2008 R2
- Installed all of the updates
- Installed all of the necessary drivers (rebooting as needed)
- Shutdown the server
- Installed the drives and hooked them into the Intel controller
- Brought up the Intel RAID config utility (ctrl + I)
- Setup a new RAID 5 array
- Booted into Windows Server and initialized the array through the Intel Management console
- Rebooted
- Went into the Disk Management snap in and that's where I'm at
