Server v2008 R2 & GPT Disk
I have a Server 2008 R2 server I just built. During the initial installation I created 1 big RAID 5 partition using the HP SmartStart disk which totals 2.3 TBs. I then carved out 150GBs for the C drive and started the installation. After the install was complete I went into Disk Management to partition the remaining 2.1TBs but found that my only option was to partition roughly 1900GBs and then the remaining space separately.
How can I get the "D" drive to encompass the entire 2.1TBs. I thought I could enable GPT but I do not see the option. Is this possible, and how?

In other words you need to configure the RAID the way that your Windows installation could see two physical HDDs: one for OS (such as 150GB) and the rest is for data. Then you will be able to convert the second disk easily into GPT.
