If it is, the status row for that disk at the bottom of the window should indicate that the disk is Online. After the disk is initialized, you must create a partition, and then format that partition by using a file system. It's to be able to store data in that partition, and assign a name and a drive letter to that partition. To do it, right-click the unallocated space on the right side of the status row for that disk, and then click New Simple Volume.
Follow the steps in the partition wizard to complete this process. If you have previously initialized the disk by using the MBR partitioning scheme, follow these steps to initialize the disk by using the GPT scheme. In the Disk Management window, examine the disk status rows at the bottom. In the following example, the user has a 3-TB disk that was previously initialized by using the MBR partitioning scheme.
That device is labeled here as Disk 1. Disk 1 contains two separate unallocated sections. This separation indicates that the first 2 TB of the disk space can be used. However, the remaining space is non-addressable because of the bit addressing space limitation of the MBR partitioning scheme.
To enable the system to fully address the total capacity of the storage device, you must convert the disk to use the GPT partitioning scheme. Right-click the label on the left for the disk that you want to convert, and then click Convert to GPT Disk. Now that the disk is initialized to access the full storage capacity, you must create a partition, and then format that partition by using a file system.
Because the transition to a single-disk capacity of greater than 2 TB has occurred fairly recently, Microsoft has investigated how Windows supports these large disks. The results reveal several issues that apply to all versions of Windows earlier than and including Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 and Windows Server R2 with Service Pack 1.
To this point, the following incorrect behavior is known to occur when Windows handles single-disk storage capacity of greater than 2 TB:. The numeric capacity beyond 2 TB overflows. It results in the system being able to address only the capacity beyond 2 TB. For example, on a 3-TB disk, the available capacity may be only 1 TB. The numeric capacity beyond 2 TB is truncated.

Windows 8. Windows Vista: Limited only by kernel mode virtual address space and physical memory. Limited by available kernel-mode virtual address space or the SystemCacheLimit registry key value. What do you mean by "Bits"? Which of the componenets should I use for upgrade to get the new File replication functionality? I attempted to upgrade our PowerVault V using R2 from Windows Standard, but it would not take the product key. I used this version to upgrade 3 other Dell Servers.
Dev Mgr 7 Gold. A bios cannot limit which OS you can install. However, the factory OS is not a regular server OS it's storage server , so the upgrade path is probably just not there as it assumes your upgrading from a server OS non-storage server. Keep in mind that installing a different OS does mean you no longer have support from Dell for the OS hardware is still supported though. Member since My server is also a production server.
We are wanting to install windows standard with R2.
