Windows 2003 Server Initializes a second disk

Many friends ask why the VPS opened, the default C disk only 10G, the rest of the remaining capacity where. Because the VPS of the Xensystem system is divided into two separate virtual hard drives, the system defaults to the first virtual hard disk (c disk) and 10GB size, the remaining space is in the second virtual hard disk, you can allocate capacity through Disk Management.

This is an example of a 40G standalone hard drive.

Third, click Disk Management

If the disk is not initialized, the disk initialization and Conversion Wizard is automatically ejected.
