I
would just take the drive out and put it another win2k box [1] copy over the
data, then reformat the drive and reinstall.

Subject: RE: Windows 2000 Pro - Changing from basic disk to dynamic diskThere was no other partition to set as active. I upgraded Disk 1 to a dynamic disk. Then upgraded Disk 0 which only had the boot partition (4gb) and approx 6 gb of unpartitioned space. Upon doing that, I had to reboot. Thus bringing me to the situation I'm currently in.When I tried the recovery console, it said the drive was un-specified. The repair process said the drive or partition was corrupt.Would it help me at all to install windows 2000 to another partition, then try and retrieve the data that was on the other partition?Regards,Sean Martin, MCSE

Subject: RE: Windows 2000 Pro - Changing from basic disk to dynamic diskit can be.. is just not recommended. since they are a bit harder to recover from crashes.A 3 pack of fish tacos say that you opps and set the other partition as active. thinking that would complete the upgrade process. you can recover the data by putting the drive in another win2k box. or you could attempt to make the correct partition active again from the recovery console. boot from the CD.good luckKevinm QWSZC, VRY+Y, NFH, SAD-VF, DERSDESDFG~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~More letters after my names makes Smarter.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~please respond back to rent this ad space for your needshttp://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm-----Original Message-----

Subject: Windows 2000 Pro - Changing from basic disk to dynamic diskOk, the lack of Windows 2000 training is definitely noticeable in this problem....I have an old clone box (PII 450, 256mb RAM, 2 maxtor 10gb IDE Drives). I recently had a guy who was working for me for about a month, upgrade this box from NT 4 to Win2k pro for II5. This kid created a great intranet site for us. Everything was working ok until I started poking around. I noticed the kid created a single 4gb ntfs partition and just left the remaining disk space untouched. I wanted to to create a spanned volume set using the rest of the disk space on disk 0 and disk 1. To do this, I found that I had to upgrade them to Dynamic disks before hand. Well, I upgraded the 2nd disk, no problem. Updated the 1st disk with the boot partition and then rebooted as instructed. Upon boot up, I see the following occur:Searching for boot record from floppy... Not FoundSearching for boot record from CD-Rom... Not FoundSearching for boot record from IDE-0... OKBoot failure from previous deviceBoot failureInsert BOOT diskette in A:Press any key when ready (I put in my just-created windows 2000 boot disk)Searching for boot record from floppy... OKWindows 2000 setup begins.....Then I receive: File \ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded.The error code is 7.Setup cannot continue. Press any key to Exit.
The process then begins all over again. So what are my options? I'd rather not blow this machine away since I don't have a backup of the current Intranet site. The server was just finalized late last night. This kid that created the site has copies on his laptop, but he's on his way back to North Carolina.So far I haven't found anything relative to upgrading dynamic disks but I'm still searching. Thanks in advance for any help y'all can provide.Regards,Sean Martin, MCSE
