Hi,
I have a PE2850 with working 36GB drives that I have had Windows 2008 Server, Windows 8 Pro (Currently) with no issues. I recently purchased 146GB drives and was trying to get them working. In the configuration utility I try to setup a new configuration from READY, get them Online by hitting space bar, Hit Enter, F10, SPAN1 (F10 again), I hit "accept" to confirm that RAID 1 works. It keeps coming up with ERROR when it tries to initialize them. I also have tried to not initialize them in trying it a different way and I simply can't install on OS on them. Is there something I'm missing?
FYI...
- When I purchased the PE2850 it has the 36GB's in there and had an OS on there that I simply wiped. Again, working great then and those drives still work just fine.
- I also downloaded the utility CD (Server assistant something CD) and it shows a yellow arrow in a triangle next to the drive.
- One drive "might" be having issues with the bottom light on the drive showing green, then yellow, then off potentially saying it's not working well. I am getting that one exchanged.
Any help/insight would be appreciated.
