I was wondering or just wanted to confirm somthing. We have a Win2000 server with two scsi drives we want to mirror. Now I understand I have to first convert disc 0 to a dynamic drive before I can mirror. My question is when converting to a dynamic drive does it effect any data or programs that are presently on the drive 0 ?

thanks

Converting to dynamic will not affect any data on the drive what so ever.You need to ensure that there is 1MB free space where your sever will keep volume info and that is for all physical disks converted to dynamic.Dynamic disks gives you more flexibity and control of you disk subsystem namely creating spanned volumes that occupy multiple disks and software based raid.That is it and am sure this info will help
