The drives that use Advance Format (4k sectors) are known to have issues with all of the Windows 5.x versions (2000, XP, Server 2003 and Windows Home Server)

If you really want to use this model drive with your Windows Home Server, there is a tool on Western Digital's site called "WDALIGN" which will "fix" these drives to work with Windows 5.x
