Hello,

First off, Thanks to Dave Patrick and everyone else for helping me out
last week. Unfortunately, I was unable to bounce the box to check the
bios, so I had the remote system Admin physically look at the box and
give me the info I needed.

Here is my new questions:
I have a Compaq ProLiant DL380 G2 running Microsoft Windows 2000
Server 5.0.2195 Service Pack 4 Build 2195. How can I determine what
physical disk drive (or drives) are part of the logical F Partition?

If I look into Disk Management and right click on disk 3 (located
below to the left of Partition F) and click "properties", the Disk 3
Properties displays the following info:

Disk: Disk 3
Type: Basic
Status: Online
Capacity: 104179 MB
Unallocated Space: 0 MB
Device type: SCSI (Port 2, Target ID: 7, LUN 0)
Hardware Vendor: COMPAQ LOGICAL VOLUME SCSI Disk
Adapter Name: Smart Array 5i

Does that mean that some kind of RAID software is running on this
machine? If so, does anyone know how to bring up the GUI to look at
what physical drives encompass what logical partitions?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards...
