I wanted to us a dell form factor PC as a Ubuntu Home Media Server on my home network in my house. however if I am running another PC with windows 8.1 pro 64 bit on it with 7 hard drives( one is the c drive/system OS) in it is it possible to add the other 6 hard drives to the Ubuntu Home Media Server throw samba or another tool since they are all windows(NTFS 2 TB drives with data on them already) just wondering. I could do this throw whs2011 but was trying to do this with Ubuntu Home Media Server instead, thanks in advance Adam :mrgreen:

Hi Adam,

Yes you can do that. Better would be to reformat them as ext4 or similar but they'd work as NTFS
