RE: Win 2003 Dynamic Disk Issue

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Dave,

Found out that it was something to do with Disk0. Fitted another disk and
was able to convert to Dynamic without issue.

Although the orginal disk would work as a basic disk it would not support
becoming a dynaic disk?

Thanks for your help.

We are trying to setup a test server matching a clients existing

on IDE Dynamic disks with Windows Software mirror.

The problem is that after installing the operating system onto a newly
created partition on Disk0 we convert to dynamic disk and re boot.

System fails to boot with the message "NTLDR is missing"

Running recovery consol and using the map command would seem to indicate the
reason for this issue as it shows no drive letter assigned to the boot drive,
there is just a question mark.

Any help appreciated.
