Common question..can't find a good answer - Adding 3Tb to WHS pp3

[News Bot]

I'm building a new server, and when I add any of my many 3Tb drives, they show up at ~750 Gb.

Researching the web, it seems that I'd need Intel's RTS update..but I don't think this applies.

I've set up BIOS to use IDE instead of RAID or AHCI...

I don't have any data, so I have to problem resetting it to one or the others, but MY undestanding what that I don't need RAID with Windows Home server...I thought WHS achieved the same goal as RAID...

The main GOAL here is, I'm running WHS 2003 and I want to use 3Tb hard drives...I have these in my other server, but can't figure out why they're not working in my current config.

Anyone who can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Specs:

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-S2P AMD 760

CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor

8GB memory

Windows Home Server 2003

I have 4 x Western Digital 3Tb hard drives (WD30EZRXZ)

 

I'm sure it has something to do with my chipset/lack of RAID set up...but again, I thought with WHS, I didn't need a RAID configuration...
