Chapter 8.
Adding a new hard disk
If you don't have enough space for your data, you can either replace the old disk
with a new higher-capacity one (data transfers to new disks are described in the
previous chapter), or add a new disk only to store data, leaving the system on the
old disk. If the server has space for another disk, it would be easier to add it then
clone.
To add a new disk you must first install it into your server.
8.1
Selecting a hard disk
Select the disk that you have added to the server.
This window might be bypassed if the program detects the new disk itself. In this case, you
will immediately proceed to the
New partition creation
.
If there are any partitions on the new disk, they must be deleted first.
Select
Delete partitions on the destination hard disk
and click
Next
to
continue.
8.2 Creating
new
partitions
Next, you will see the current partition layout. Initially all disk space will be
unallocated. This will change after you add new partitions.
