Add an External Drive to Windows Home Server
Windows Home Server is an upcoming version of Windows Server targeted at home users. It's extremely easy to add space to your Windows Home Server by just following a couple of simple steps.
Here I will show you the steps for adding an external hard drive. First, double-click on the Windows Home Server Console icon.
With the Server Console open click on the Server Storage Icon.
Connect your external Hard Drive to your Home Server and go through the Add Disk Wizard selecting all defaults.
Keep in mind that any data currently on the drive you are adding will be deleted because WHS formats the entire drive to NTFS for total storage space.

I have NEVER been able to install SP2. Every time it was tried by different people, who were extremely computer savy, it crasned the hard drive. Even a letter to LANGA.com came back with a response that "some" may not take the sp2 download for whatever the reason for the glitch. Any opinions? thanks. H. Basco
