Okay here's an interesting issue. I have a machine with 2 250GB SATA drives configured in a RAID1 array. C=20GB and D=212GB, using NTFS on both. All other applications can see the D partition except for E2K Enterprise when attempt to install it. When I click drive information it shows nothing. I did run Maxtor's big drive enabler on the system. Any clues? Thanks.

Never seen that. Install Exchange to C then move the stores and TLs off there. OK, not a great solution, but it'll work.

I just found that Volume Shadow Copy doesn't work on a single volume above 2TB. Took a while to work that out. May be a similar issue with the installer that doesn't like volumes about a certain size. But I can see a 40GB partition and you can't see a 200. There is nothing special in between.

I thought about that as well, that is moving the store's and transaction logs to the D partition. The strange this
is on another machine the setup app sees the second partition but not the case on this machine. The only difference is the machine in question is using SATA RAID1. Thanks.
