Title: add new HD
Post by: jriemens on May 15, 2005, 02:23:55 PM

I need more diskspace in my SME server. Do I need to install SME again on a new (bigger) disk or can I add this second disk in the server and use it for file storage for the users?

Other question, can SME read NTFS formatted disks? If yes, how?

TIA,

regards,

Jaap.

Jaap,

  You can find this kind of information easily by searching.  I searched for "Second Hard Drive" and found this link.

Thanks Jay, I will do that next time!

The info is very clear! I am wondering though, I have just installed SME yesterday on an older computer with only a 4 Gb HD. What if I make a backup of the settings with the server-manager and replace the small HD with the big HD and do a clean install? After the clean install I could restore the backup. Isn't this a faster and easier way?

Jaap.

Much faster and easier even to do a copy to larger drive using Norton Ghost or similar product.
