PHWinfo - Afficher un message - How to use 2nd drive with Server 2008 ???`

08/05/2008, 04h07

A the moment it's a standalone test server. Depending on how testing goes,
I may use it for ny virtual test lab. I'm considering using a text-only
install to host virtual machines on a multi-core system. It would be
desireable to have a common data volume. So right now, I'm trying to see
what I can do with it.
