Hi all,
So i've had my WHS for a few months now and got redundancy in a drive pool but wanted to backup a few things to and external drive for safe keeping at a seperate location.
The issue i have is that it doesnt seem to correctly 'see' the hard drive. It is seen in device manager and is formatted as NTFS. In the Dashboard it is visble under the harddrives section and the server alert system keeps telling me that there is an extrenal HDD attatched and available. However, when i select the drive in the harddrives section and click "add the hard drive to server backup" it doesnt display any drives at all. If i check to box to show all available drives it will show me the three drives i have pooled but ignores the external drive.
Any ideas as to what is going on here??
Thanks in advance.
