I'm kind of leaning in that direction, too, regarding the tape drive.

I wonder if there are any SD or other type of card readers installed?

Also to JohnB - I assume that the partition/volume that it was installed on or that you chose, was the only one in the list, such as no others?

Right, I used the entired disk, for Drive0. Drive1 was also listed as a
drive that I could install to. But that's the data drive.

I'm going to also disconnect the tape drive.
Thanks.

Good Mornig.

Sorry for intruding in the post, but, got a question

Our sbs 2k3 is also running as system drive e: and data drive c:

Because ( i think ) system drive broke, plugged a new one ( unformatted
) and re-installed. the installer pegged c: to the data drive because
was the only recognised as usable drive at install time. anyway, the
rest is history.

my question is, is there a probelm ?? i mean, it's running like that a
year or so and no visible issues.

can anyone elaborate on whatever issues may arise ??

thank you in advance
Pedro Leite

When I returned the customer had found their Dell CD for re-installing
Windows. So I re-installed Windows, starting with the Dell CD, and
everything worked fine. Before I started I disabled Drive1 in the BIOS. So
unfortunately, I'll never know which of those 2 things prevented it from
making the system drive the C: drive.
But all is well once again.
Thanks.
