Hey boys and girls.
I have a problem for you all. I'm creating a file server using windows 2k3 server as I want it to do other things then just file server. anyways onto the problem. I have no onboard sata ports on my mobo so i have installed a pci expansion board which is working fine detecting the drive and all. however when i go into windows it is detecting the hdd in the disk management section but its not assigning it a letter or anything. I would normally fix this by formating it and would be all good. however there is about 200gb of data on it so that wont work here. any suggestions to what i can do?
