How do i mount a new drive windows Server 2008 r2
I have a windows Server 2008 R2 in another location that the Drive has the OS and shows 39 GB see attachments
I keep running low on space this is a PIA
I walked someone through installing a 1 TB drive which is recognized see attachment.
It has been years since I mounted a drive and just want to make sure I am doing it right, can't afford to mess up this system
My goal is to increase the 39 GB of storage to include the new 1 TB drive
my confusion is when I am in Disk management it show other partitions
39GB OEM partition , a 3 GB Recovery a OS c: 40 GB data part 1 889.96 GB and now the new 931.51 GB
SO it might be raid ?
Anyway Do I right click on the OS C: and mount to the new Drive F or is it visa versa
IF I click on the 39 OEM partition I only get help as choice no change the drive letter
Thanks

What I'm trying to do is mount drive F to drive C adding all of drive F storage to drive C for more space. Drive D has all the installed programs so I can't touch that.
That make sense.
Then you will need to clone C: to F:\, no simple process. I would not undertake it myself preferring to do a fresh install, but I suspect someone will be along shortly.

And I thought this would as easy as adding the drive and just mounting it to drive c for more space....I'll have to think about this for a while thanks for the info will let you know which way I go.

There is enough information which answers the questions of the asker. In comment ID: 40949582 it was explained why would it not be possible to remove D: drive and an alternative ways of dealing with the problem were suggested.
Unless I am misunderstanding what your intentions are.
You will not be able to mount the new drive as your C:\ drive (or boot drive) unless you are prepared to either clone C: to F:, or format and do a fresh install to the new drive.
