      You're probably going to want to re-think your setup.

        #2 Hyper-V made doing storage passthrough a PITA last I checked, so you add the drives as a single volume to the host and then create a single vhd that uses the entire space of the volume.

        You'd also almost never want to do this. It's stupid and breaks many of the advantages of virtualization. Let the hypervisor manage the storage.

          The system I am using is old. BIOS has no usable options for RAID and I don't know what a RAID controller is.

          So much fail - please send all this equipment back and resign from your company.

            isn't the host Travis is talking about Hyper-V? i.e. he is having the hypervisor manage the storage?

              I just connected the drives into the server and let Hyper-V start up. So I see 5 individual drives listed.

                What's the point of this thread? Clearly Dustin is not the one in need of help here - so this thread is just a troll?

                moving on.
