I just bought a new windows server from leaseweb the problem is its only showing one of the 4 500GB Hard drives it has, I have spoke to support at leaseweb and they weren't mush help they just said I need to add the drives myself, the trouble I don't know how.
I have also looked online but everything I try doesn't work.

Any help is appreciated.

Open device manager, then disk management, there you can see 4 disk, if 4 disk not showing, at top left side there is a option to re-scan disk, do it and check again, if 4 disk still not found, then contact support if the server is really delivered with 4 disk or not.

It seems you have bought an unmanaged server so cant blame on hosting site. You have to mount hard drives on server, Also if you want to combine all 4 drives then look into LVM . If it all sounds complex you should hire a server admin to setup all.

I have done that and only 2 disks show.

an OS Disk (C) that is 58GB in size and one 500GB Disk (D)

@mRAza
would you be able to set it up for me for a small fee?

everyone know if you purchase 4 disk server then its off-course should have 4 disk, but its not showing 4 disk even after you re-scan the disk, so either the server delivered with 2 disk or 2 disk is faulty which need replacement, ask them to check if server is delivered with 4 disk or not, also ask them to check if other 2 disks are faulty disk.

I am in live chat now and they are saying I should have 4x500GB SATA2


This is getting really frustrating

They said they are looking in to it, thanks for your help.
 
open control panel> System and Security> Administrative tools> Create and format hard disk partitions

All your drives will be There.
