server partitions

[Guest Tester]

HI there,

Can I create 5 partitions on Raid 5 disk on a dell active directory

server , to hold diagnostics, AD database, AD logs, sysvolume and data

on a basic disk or do I need to convert to dynamic?

Will dynamic disks interfere in any way with the hardware raid 5?

Thanks a lot, T

There is a fourth question: Is it wise to have five partitions on a

server disk. IMHO, it is not.
