nunoc Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 So, here we go,I have a Windows 2000 Server already fully installed with 2 scsi disks, onefor O.S. other for backups (it's a backup server).Now i want to had two 260 GB external usb disks (because i have no spaceinside the box) and want to put them mirrored ...The problem is ... When i try to convert them to dynamic, the "convert todynamic" option appears "greyed out" and i can't select it, if i go to theprevious installed scsi disks i have the "convert to dynamic" optionavailable ...Anyone knows what the problem might be ?Thanks in advance, and sorry for the very bad english,Nunoc
chilifrei64 Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 To my knowledge.. and someone correct me if I am wrong.. but windows knows if it is usb storage and it will not allow you to make a dynamic disk if it is connected via usb. That would be cool if they did allow it though.. Imagine 2 512 usb drives raided as a portable raid swap for slower computers..
InTheWayBoy Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I would have to agree with chilifrei64. I'm almost positive I've read somewhere that you can't do dynamic disks with USB devices.
fizban2 Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 USB drive cannot be upgraded to dynamic disk, defiantly true.
