LaCie Biggest Quadra manual EN Windows 2000 and Windows XP Users

EN Windows 2000 and Windows XP Users:

The Lacie Biggest Quadra supports over 2TB capacity on all operating systems except Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

On Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the maximum capacity which will mount, regardless of the RAID mode selected, is 2TB*.

If you have created an array of more than 2TB on Windows 2000 or Windows XP, please use the following steps to make the array visible in Windows Disk Manager:

1.With the scroll button, select Enable over 2TB on the LCD panel. Press ENT to continue.

2.Select NO to disable the function. The array will be visible in Disk Manager, but is limited to 2TB on Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Note: If you switch to another operating system (Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista or Mac OS X), activate the “Enable over 2TB” function by selecting YES in step 2, above, to allow access to arrays over 2TB.

Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista Users:

In Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista, a RAID array with more than 2TB accessible space will mount as two volumes. To make the volumes appear as one volume:

1.Open Windows Disk Manager.

2.Right-click the concerned disks and select Convert to GPT Disk.

*1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment (typically 5–10% less).
