RAID 5

Hi,

I think I'm missing something, over the weekend I was installing Windows
2000 Server, what I tried to do was create a RAID 5 in the Computer
Management. I upgraded disk 0 to a dynamic disk, then I'd attempt to create
a RAID but I get a message saying something to the affect that you can't do
that when a disk was originally created as a basic disk.
Now, when I click in the gray area just to the left I can create a second
volume but it's only 8 mb. This doesn't seem to be the clearest posting but
maybe it's enough to get something started. By the way I do have 3 hard
disks in the server all the same size that part is ok, I just can't seem to
include the OS into the RAID configuration.

Thanks,


.
