Diskpart gurus anyone? for dynamic disks


Recommended Posts

I have a NAS 1200s Fitted with 4x 250GB IDE Drives.

I would like to have the following config....

all disks to be dynamic.

a mirrored partition of 20GB on the first two disks. then disk 2,3 and the rest of the space on disk 1 and 0 to become one volume.

I am really getting a bit pee'd with this, does anyone have this similar setup?

Its easy to do in comp disk manager, I just can replicate it within the diskpart cmd line.

I believe it should go something like (this will not work in XP, Xp does not support mirroring, assuming 2003 then):

Select disk 0
create volume simple size=20
select volume 1
add disk 1
select disk 0
create volume simple
select volume 2
extend disk 1
select disk 2
create volume simple
select volume 1
add disk 3

Add format and drive letter additions as needed, convert to dynamic if desired and select a volume to be active for booting. I don't have a machine I can test this on at the moment but that should do what you want.
