Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard only detects 500GB as C: Drive

Hi,

I have 5 units of HDD, each is 500GB.

I have done a RAID 5, so total hard disk size shown is 1.8TB. When i try to
install the server, the maximum NTFS partition size for C: drive is only
500GB instead of 1.8TB. How to set maxium space as 1.8TB because i prefer
only 1 drive instead of C:, D:, E: & etc.

Thanks.

Hong Jin

What raid controller are you using? You may need to update firmware and or
get an updated driver.
