Guest nesredep egrob Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 I have bought a 750GB Sata WD disk to store some of the video I am working on at the moment. When I open up Disk Management I see the disk is there as disk 0 and that it is a dynamic disk. I cannot remember how to sort out that problem. I was wanting the disk to be partitioned in 5 seperate logical drives to continue after logical G. I can really use some help here. As you can guess I have installed the drive and used the W2000 disk to get to where you press F6, where I used the floppie Raid to install the driver. From there I dropped out of the installation using F3 all of which is fairly standard. Help Please Borge in sunny Perth, Australia

But thanks for the help. I took exception to the fact that the disk was disk0, I had expected it to be disk2 as I already have 0 and 1. More to the point was a question about signature and a mention of Dynamic disk that worried me. However eventually I clicked OK on that and that was the end of trouble. The disk turned out to be Basic as I had wanted. I sorted the letters from Settings etc. Eventually I shall fit another disk of like size. I presume to have a Raid array 0 that I shall have to convert the first disk to dynamic?. The idea I have about that is that one disk should become the working disk and the other an automatic backup, am I right. If not I shall have to do some more reading on that subject.
