I have just reinstalled WHS 2003.
Previous to this install I had 3 physical disks, 3 x 2tb drives. On drive 1 it had 2 paritions, 1 for the OS, one as a "working" drive where I store shared files, backups, music etc. The other 2 drives I access by going to My computer and into the drive
letter M:\ and T:\. These 2 drives had folders shared to my xbox running as a media extender.
Since the reinstall, it has included the 2 drives as part of the storage pool, and I can only get to these by going through C:\fs\X\. I'd like to go back to accessing these like a normal slave drive, the only info I've found was how to remove the drives
from the storage pool but wanted to move data around.
How can I take these out the storage pool without the data being moved and just left in tact? I.e. remove them from the drive extender function.
You can remove the drives from your storage pool, then simply use them as you did previously. But you
must allow Windows Home Server to move the data it may currently have on those drives back off it, or you could lose files currently in your shares.
Or you could create one or more shares, using the console, and allow your XBox access to that.
I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
