To overcome this limitation with a TeraStation Pro II iSCSI 4TB, please use the LVM (LogicalVolumeManagement) function on the web-gui, to create volumes below 2TB (2047GB max.).Īfter connecting these volumes to your Windows XP, you can use the Windows Disk Management, to create Dynamic Disks (right click 'Disk*' and select 'Convert to Dynamic Disk'). To overcome this limitation with a DriveStation Quattro 4TB, please divide the volume into partitions of less than 2TB (2048 GB/MBR volume).Īny actual Buffalo-NAS (SMB storage) device like LinkStation/TeraStation will have the same limitation, as it won't be able to handle volumes above 2TB on a USB connected storage device, there is no solution for this limitation. This results in volumes larger than 2TB not being visible on the disk management screen.

I can open disk defragmenter and defrag the hard drive but can't open disk management.There is a known limitation in the Windows 32bit Operating Systems which can't handle drives larger than 2 Terabytes (GPT volume). Hoping someone can give me alittle help with this problem I've tried going into properties of logical disk manager and seeing if there is another dependency needed but there is not.I've run Malwarebytes in safe mode with nothing detected and also run my antivirus (Avast) program with nothing showing up. I go into services and restart the logical disk manager service and it still gives me the same error but no error code with this. THis is a desktop that I am not using remotely.Īlso,showing unable to connect to logical disk manager service.

I don't understand the remote process here. The disk management console failed to connect to the rem.ote computer because the service is not in the Windows Firewall exception list.It says to add the remoting service dmremote.exe to the windows firewall exception list and try again. When I open Computer Management and try to open the disk management I get a error saying: My problem is I cannot open the disk management utility. I have this older desktop computer that has some problems that I hope someone can help me with.
