Those server OSes do tend to be problematic so the only suggestion I have is to not attach this drive directly but through that Windows 7 machine.

Hi all,
I am trying to use an external Lacie Biggest Quadra 2.7TB Raid5 drive
connected via USB2 to a w2k8 stn server. I initialized the raid5 drive
through the unit (assuming this is hardware driven) and with the drive
as GPT try to format it through disk
manager or diskpart and the format will not complete. I connected the
drive to my w7x64 pc and I can format the drive with no problem. I can
then connect it to the w2k8 machine and it recognizes the drive. I can
create a shared folder and
save/delete to it locally or from networked pc's. But at some point
after initiating a w7 backup or data transfer from networked pc's, the
drive becomes inaccessible w/ w2k8 log events 51, 57 (An error was
detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR5 during
a paging operation.|The system failed to flush data to the transaction
log. Corruption may occur.).
Is there an incompatibility w/ a 32bit w2008 system and GPT or
dynamic disk (Raid5) formatting and recognition? Why can't I format the
drive in w2k8 but I can with w7x64? Any way I can have this drive work
at full capacity with w2k8x32?
BTW, Lacie won't touch the issue..."we haven't tested the drive w/ 2k8"
Thanks,
Kevin
