Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

I read your post about adding 4TB drives to Server 2008 and wanted to help.

Not a Server guy but noticing you are using 4TB drives (which require GPT formatting) and wondering if an OS that old can handle GPT drives, I found a couple of threads that might be useful to you:
