Please don't take this the wrong way but diskprobe is one of those
tools where if you have to ask how to use it, you're probably better
off not using it. Or not caring about the data on the disks you plan to
use it on.

of doing what you want.

Hello,

I have a Dell Server w/250GB hard disk.
Windows 2003, Exchange 2003, and ISA 2004 installed.

I add another 250GB hard disk, then I tried to do mirror.
So I try upgrade the first 250GB from basic to dynamic.
After reboot, the server keeps rebooting.
I tried safe mode, and I can do nothing.

I installed new windows 2003 on the new 250 gb hard disk.

administrator tools -> computer management -> disk management
I only can see the empty hard disk for the old hard disk.
I can create new volumn from menu (but I didn't)
So, how can I do now?
I read KBs, I have to create new volumn, then use dskprobe to edit.

Thanks
