Can you partition a RAID 5 array? 1 Partition for the OS and 1 for data? I was under the impression that after you convert a disk to dynamic you cannot partition that drive because it sees it as volume instead of a partition?

Yes, you can parition RAID 5 into different volumes so you can seperate your data and OS.

RAID 5 volumes cannot be mirrored or extended like other disk types.

Thanks for the Reply. So I would still convert the disks to dynamic? And then be able to partition them afterwards?

Yes, you should still be able to partition disks in dynamic disk mode.
