Yes XP will NOT support software RAID. You have to remember that XP is strictly and only a DESKTOP
operating system. NOT a server
operating system. The next Windows
server operating system will be Windows 2002 Server, Windows 2002 Advanced
Server, and Windows 2002 Datacenter Server, as indicated in press released from
Microsoft. Sorry for all the caps, but it seems like some people are assuming that
XP will be branded on the server products as well, and that’s just not the case. Remember: Windows XP = the next version of Windows 2000 Professional and Windows
ME. Windows 2002 = the next version of Windows 2000 Server (in its various
flavours). Dee Abson, MCSE PC Support Specialist, ICT, SAIT Phone: 403-210-4506 FAX: 403-284-7238 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original
Message----- Let's back up a minute.
Does this mean that Win XP won't support Raid-1? I find that had to believe
since most of my server have mirrored OS drives and I would be very
uncomfortable with anything else. Greg -----Original Message----- XP does not support it, but Windows 2002 Server
(Advanced, Datacenter, etc.) will. Dee Abson, MCSE PC Support

Message----- I'm
somewhat familiar with the Pro's and Con's, but thanks for the info :o) I also
know the procedure for disk mirroring, I just needed to know if XP supports it
as W2k Pro does not.

Message----- Warning: If
you want disk mirroring (or any software RAID under W2K) you HAVE to use
dynamic disks, and once they're dynamic there's NO going back. Your
familiar disk utilities may no longer work, and you have now forsaken
partitions for volumes. Good luck. ;) Fire up
Computer Management (from Administrative Tools, or right-click on My Computer
and pick Manage), and click on Disk Management. In turn, right click on
the hard drives you want to mirror and select "Upgrade to Dynamic
Disk...". Once your disks are dynamic, right click on the simple
volume you want to mirror, select "Add Mirror..." and follow the
wizard. Remember that you can only mirror simple volumes, not a spanned
volume or similar. Dee Abson,

Message----- In the MMC
just like W2k. -----
