Hi
I recently upgraded to xp from w2k and my hard drive strapping is gone. I had 4 ultrawide 2 SCSI hard drives strapped together. Now I can see them but they are all un allocated 18 gigs . How do I strap them all in one thro software as before?


Thanks

Do you mean want to stripe the drives? (click here) (http://techrepublic.com.com/5100-6255-1040548.html)

Otherwise just strap them together with a leather belt :-)

If you saved your hard drive setup files, you could have had the Array setup without having to lose any data on them. I did this on my way from 2000 Pro to XP Pro.

thanks mike

I tried working on the above link that michael had provided. It still would not give me the option of setting up the volume. All I can see when I go to stripe them is " unallocated 17.97GB " . It doesnt let me create the dynamic disk , The only option I have is the creating of partitions.
PLease help
Thanks
