How to setup disk drive for MS hypervisor

I installed MS Hyper-V R2 to Dell Poweredge 2970.
I have two logical array set. One is Raid1 for OS and 68GB.
The other one is raid5 for virtual Guest Server and around 400G.
I want to know how to enable the host server accessing the disk array.

Thanks

Can you tell me the diskpart commands for setting the storage 400GB to E drive?
When I open diskpart and list disk.
I can see disk 1 online 408GB.
and disk 0 online 67GB
try this:

diskpart.exe
select disk 1
list partition

You should see a primary partiton listed. If you don't, you don't have the partition created.

Here is a link to the diskpart.exe documentation. My guess is that you need to create the partition, format it, and assign the drive letter. I format my partitions with a 64K cluster size for storing VHD files. It seems to be more efficient and perform better.
