WHS - New Hard Drive

Elskie87 · 14 Feb 2010 at 11:19

Hi,
I want to add a new hard drive to my windows home server, but the drive I want to add already has data I want to keep on it. I want to transfer the data to the existing hard drive then add the new hard drive to the data pool, can this be done???
Thanks

I'm assuming you can't put the data on to the WHS can you?
Need to find a location to put the data while you add the drive. Another pc prehaps.. If you add the drive without doing it whs will format the drive and you'll lose you data..

Just add your drive and then follow the steps in this (one of many on the web) guide - http://usingwindowshomeserver.com/2009/04/18/removing-a-drive-from-your-windows-home-server/

edit - oops misread your post!

Is there space to add the drive first. Let windows do its thing, then remove the other one.
