It can go down. First of all thank you so much for responding I am tired of being alone in the dark...
As I said I can take the system down if need be. I just don't know what to do to add a disk?
I mean I know shut it down, put in the disk and do a "reconfigure" reboot. Then the system will see the new disks right?
Do I have to use the "disksuite" to add it and make it usable?
Sorry for the stupidity, but I am new to this OS and the Solstace Disksuite.
Thank you again for your help!
