Anyone have any idea how to quickly and easily partition a new hard drive? I have a western digital 2tb wdears.

WHS won't allow me to add the drive to my backup pool without having it partitioned :(


THanks!

To confirm, you want to add it to your storage pool or you want it to be a separate drive within WHS?

To add to your storage pool WHS will automatically format the drive. This process should take less then a minute.

If you want to add as a separate drive it should take only a few minutes to do a quick NTFS format on a PC before throwing into your WHS

As always, welcome to MSS.net :mss:
