Guest spikeychris Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Bit quite at work so I thought I'd have a play with some systems. Got quite a few XP installation disks so I thought I'd install some and mirror them to seperate drives.Spent ages installing the software the went to mirror and it won't work. when you use the New Volume Wizard you get this >>SimpleSpannedStripedMirroredRAID-5Thats good, I want mirror. But thers only three options >>SimpleSpannedStripedMmmmmXP Pro doesn't allow mirroring but XP Home does???????? as it does not support dynamic disks.Triffic.............Just wanted a moan............

Boris Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Are you sure ?I thought it was that XP Pro does but Home doesn't ?http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/usi...d/multiboot.aspMultiple dynamic disks If you have two or more hard disks installed in your computer, each dynamic disk can contain one installation of Windows XP Professional, or Windows 2000. No other operating systems can start from a dynamic disk. Windows XP Home Edition does not support dynamic disks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
