NOTES:
Disk 0,1,2,3 is how Windows Disk Management sees the drives as connected to its IDE in Bios.
An additional IDE / SCSI controller would display its connected drives in Windows Disk Management, but
not Bios.
(Caution: A DVR that has internal RAID drives configured as MIRROR will only display 2 of the possible 4 drives of the
MIRROR configuration. DVR models that have MIRROR Raid are not dealt with here. Contact Vicon Technical Support if the DVR
has very large internal storage; Example KE120-16-1200. Its hdd are configured in a separate BIOS after main BIOS.)
The drive letter and name is automatically assigned by Windows depending on the order of connection on
its IDE cables and IDE channel it is connected to.
Sometimes the drive letter is not correct.
Example: F:\ DB-1 E:\DB-2 and so on. When this is seen you MUST check that all connected drive
are seen in bios. Then in computer management / disk management verify the drive is formatted. If needed
change the drive letter so E: F: etc are
Once the drive is added, restart Windows.
Confirm it has the correct letter and drive label.
All Data drives should be formatted with allocation size of 64K (not the default one).
Disk Management:
The next section details confirming and adding a drive in Windows Disk Management.
Disk management is found in;
Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Storage, Disk Management.
