Hi Guys,
My firm has just aquired a Dell PowerEdge 6800 that we are configuring as an offsite backup server. Our problem is that Larger USBs external drives do not show. We connected an 80GB FireLite and an 40GB Lacie USB external drives. As soon as we connect the system came out with a message that "New Hardware Found" and then "Installing New Hardware" and then "Hardware ready for use", but if you open My Computer the drives do not show. However smaller USBs drives or Pen drives of about 500MB or less can be seen. The server is running Windows 2003 Server. Please can anyone in this forum help us. Thanks so much.
