    I am trying to setup a wire frame for The WHS Disk Management Addin, but its only allowing me to add 1 drive, when I go to add more, the right Arrow is shaded grey and the left is black enabling me to go back instead of forward, is there anyway around this.

    Try selecting a Multi Drive Bay. MY WHS has 4 SATA connections so I set up a Multi Drive Bay for the two HDD and the DVD. Marked teh 4th as EMpty

    Hi Henry,

    You need to have a drive bay selected before you can add another one - basically, the wizard needs to have a starting point from which to add the next drive bay (i.e. "above", "below" etc.).

    Henry,

     Yes you have to selct a drive but the obvious is not so obvious. Try these steps.

    1. Open the WireFrame Add in
    2. Select "Create a new Wireframe"
    3. Select Add New Drive - Click Next
    4. Select Drive Type from the Drop Down List - Click Next
    5' Leave New Selected and Click Next
    6. Select the Drive Path and Click Next
    7. Name this Drive to what you want - Click Next

    This will bring you back to the First Screen

    8. Select Add New Drive - Click Next
    9. Select Drive Type from the Drop Down List - Click Next
    10. At teh NExt Screen RIGHT CLICK Teh Drive Image on the Left and it wil turn Green.
    11. Now Select Position from the Drop Down List and Click Next

    Your New Drive wil be palced above teh existing one.

    You can finish by repeating steps 6 and 7 above.

    I also used teh Multi Drive Selection whioch worked fine for me as well.
    Howebver when you add external Drives th steps above work better.
