Partition not enabled?

[Devon]

For some reason, when I added a new Ultra 320 hard drive
to my Windows 2000 server, Disk Management sees the drive,
but when I go to assign it a drive letter, I get the
following error:

"The operation did not complete because the
partition/volume is not enabled. Please reboot the
computer to enable the partition/volume."

Rebooting does not fix the problem.

Any Ideas?

You may need to delete and recreate the partition.

I've dont that....same problem. I also noticed that the
HD has a yellow exclamation stating that the 'Driver are
not installed"

Does the drive controller and controller driver support the drive type and
size?

Yes, the drive shows up in 'Disk Management' and Adaptec
drivers are up to date.

Not really what I asked. You might want to check with controller
manufacturer to see if the drive type and size is supported.
