    Hard Drive Bigger Than 2048GB

    Hiya,

    I just installed a RAID5 array into this PC, and windows in it's infinite wisdom has decided to divide the hard drive into two sections:

    #1 - 2048GB
    #2 - The Rest



    Note: this is something other than partioning, as you can see from the image, these "blocks" are what you make the partitions in. I need some way to merge these two "blocks".

    Thanks,

    ta2

    Traditional MBR based volumes can't handle more than 2TB, use GPT partitions as meantioned above. That's why Windows shows the array split into two partitionable volumes.
