dynamic disk mem loss

[exitnow]

can i recover the memory from the mirrored disks if my primary (third) drive with the operating system fails? i was concerned because it is a software raid through XP Pro and they are dynamic disks. i have heard bad things about dynamic disks.

You can't do software mirroring in XP Pro. (At least not without a hack).

How about you not cross post your thread

i can mirror with xp pro if i have my operating system on a seperate disk, and i know that not everybody like codewiz goes through every forum trying to help everybody, so i was looking for help in 2 places that seemed appropriate. thank you.

Not with MS software RAID you can't.

Workstation based MS OSs only support Striping (Raid 0) and this must be done on a non-boot drive.
