Great Thread!!

I have a Dell 705N. Software 3.4.790, Hardware 2.2.1, server# 554645, BIOS 2.4.437

I had a drive failure about a year ago, and replaced the 40gb drives with 80 gb drives (one at a time). I still only have 120 Gb in RAID 5, but never worried about it, but now I'm running out of space. I assume I have to do 'co de format 10000 /reinit' to get it to recognize the larger drives. Should I first convert my RAID5 to JBOD? Do I have to format each drive, or will the statement above do it for all 4?

I also need to have my server work with a Windows 2003 Server AD. I understand I need 4.0.830 and then 4.0.860 for that. Where can I get these?

I've read the tips on getting it to be a generic and accept the Snap firmwares.

Currently I only have 64 Mb of memory, but I will upgrade that to 256 Mb.
