Ok, the lack of
Windows 2000 training is definitely noticeable in this
problem....
I have an old clone
box (PII 450, 256mb RAM, 2 maxtor 10gb IDE Drives). I recently had a guy who was
working for me for about a month, upgrade this box from NT 4 to Win2k pro for
II5. This kid created a great intranet site for us. Everything was working ok
until I started poking around. I noticed the kid created a single 4gb ntfs
partition and just left the remaining disk space untouched. I wanted to to
create a spanned volume set using the rest of the disk space on disk 0 and disk
1. To do this, I found that I had to upgrade them to Dynamic disks before hand.
Well, I upgraded the 2nd disk, no problem. Updated the 1st disk with the boot
partition and then rebooted as instructed. Upon boot up, I see the following
occur:
Searching for
boot record from floppy... Not Found
Searching for boot record from CD-Rom... Not
Found
Searching for boot record
from IDE-0... OK
Boot failure from previous
device
Boot
failure
Insert BOOT diskette in
A:
Press any key when
ready (I put in my just-created windows 2000 boot
disk)
Searching for boot record
from floppy... OK
Windows 2000 setup
begins.....
Then I receive: File
\ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded.
The error code is 7.
Setup
cannot continue. Press any key to
Exit.
The process then begins all over again. So what are my options? I'd rather not blow this machine away since I don't have a backup of the current Intranet site. The server was just finalized late last night. This kid that created the site has copies on his laptop, but he's on his way back to North Carolina.
So far I haven't found anything relative to upgrading dynamic disks but
I'm still searching. Thanks in advance for any help y'all can
provide.
