Reading Dynamic Drive

Aug 17, 2005

In reading this disk as I have lot of useful data on it. I don't want to convert it into basic type as it will destroy the data. Will it solve my problem if I convert disk 0 - the 40 GB disk (system disk) also into dynamic type with NTFS file system (using Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management) ?

Can't Access Hard Drive / Invalid Media Type Reading Drive C

Dec 20, 2008

A little over a year ago I purchased a used IBM Thinkpad laptop from ebay for my wife. It came with Windows 2000 Professional installed and everything worked fine. No CDs or floppies came with the computer. A couple of months later, it was stolen by one of her business associates. It eventually was recovered, but the thief had installed Windows XP along with the OS that was already installed. In trying to remove XP and return the machine to its original state, I somehow managed to eventually not be able to use either OS. As it stands now I have no OS and cannot even access my hard drive.When I boot from a floppy then try to change to C: drive, I get the error message: Invalid media type reading drive c: Abort, Retry, Fail?

Disk Mirroring And Dynamic - Second Drive Currently Blank

Mar 22, 2010

I have a network consisting of:

Win 7 Ultimate PC
Win 7 Home Premium Laptop
Win Vista Home Basic Laptop
Win XP Home Laptop
2 Win XP PCs

There are also ipods etc that connect from time to time. On the Windows 7 PC I have 2 500GB WD Sata Drives. I would like to use the disk mirroring facility on Win 7 but I understand I would have to make the drives dynamic drives. If I do this to setup mirroring will the other systems be able to access the dynamic drive I have created.( They are all sharing the partitions already in use on the first drive, the second drive is currently blank).

DVD Drive Not Reading DVDs But Will Read CDs

Jun 28, 2005

I have a very strange problem...I have a DVD -/+ RW drive that reads CDs fine but when you try to put in a DVD of any kind it does not recognize it...does not matter whether or not the DVD is a retail movie, DVD -/+ R or RW disc, etc. This problem is not with the drive as this is the 3rd unit I've put in and it has behaved the same way...there is some setting or function within Windows XP that is causing this problem...all 3 of the drives work just fine in other machines. Does anyone know where this type of problem could reside within XP?

Hard Drive Reading / Writing When Nothing Is Happening

Aug 4, 2005

Lately I have been experiencing a temporary slowdown/freeze and I notice that the hd light is blinking. I can be moving the mouse across the page, for example, when it will start responding erratically or stop. As this is happening the hd light blinks even though nothing is being saved or opened. I have disabled indexing, run virus checks and adware and spyware removal tools. I do have a wireless router attached but i haven't checked to see if it happens with my laptop also.

Cannot Convert To Dynamic Disk?

Nov 15, 2008

I have an EEE pc here, with only 2gb SSD inside, and running windows! (Yes i really would be better off selling it on ebay and buy some lego or something) - buuttt, I had a final thought before doing so; to span the volume onto my external drive. However when I try to convert my external 2.5" IDE 40gb HDD, the 'convert to dynamic disk' is grayed out. I don't know what to make of this, and have found nothing much specific enough on google so far.

Dynamic & Static IP Addresses

Jul 3, 2005

I am running a home network with multiple Windows XP machines attached to the Internet with a Linksys router with the DHCP function turned on. Is it possible to have one of my machines use a static IP address instead of the one leased by the router. I know how to setup a static ip address, and I am using a number in the same subnet mask but I can't get access to the Internet.

Dynamic IP Address For DNS Server?

Nov 6, 2005

I have a trial version 2003 server and have installed it at home. I use Active Directory. When making a DNS server, I pointed my workstation to the server for its DNS, this worked for about 10 minutes. As per Comcast rules about not being able to have a static IP address for the server. How to make a dynamic IP and when it changes just go in and change my workstations to the new DNS which would be the servers new IP?

Dynamic Data Disk Unreadable

Feb 9, 2007

The drive in question is a dynamic data disk, not my system drive. I had reason to re-install windows onto my system drive. Before I did that I checked to make sure that the data drive, which is formatted as an NTFS drive, and is a dynamic disk, was intact and functioning ok. With XP installed on the system drive I went to look for the data drive in explorer (have done this procedure on many occasions without problems) and could not see the drive. Go to administrative tools and I see a message that says the drive is unreadable.

NTFS Dynamic Disk Unreadable

Sep 20, 2004

I have two hard drives in my computer. The first disk contains XP and the software, the second contains personal stuff. The second disk is installed using NTFS dynamic disk. Last weekedend I formated the XP disk, and installed XP again. After installing, the second disk comes up as "unreadable" dynamic disk. Is there a way to make it readable? I haven't done anything to it, so all the data should be there.

Unreadable Spanned Dynamic Disk

Jul 14, 2005

short description: I got an unreadable dynamic disk with one volume spanned. configuration:

HDD configuration: (both converted from basic to dynamic)...............

after waking my computer up from screen saver and trying to minimize an internet explorer, everything froze. I restarted it by reset switch, and an "NTLDR missing" message came. I started windows by recovery console and I was able to log on to my windows installation (I did nothing, because i have forgotten how to replace NTLDR!). I checked the connection IDE cable to my primary ATA hard drive (disk 0) and the message didn't appear again. Windows started and just before displaying welcome screen "the blue crash screen" came up and computer restarted automatically. I was not able to read the error message because I saw the blue screen just as a splash! I tried recovery console again and it did not recognize my windows installation. then i tried to install windows again. there were 4 drive available.....

Dynamic Disk Recovery - How To Repair

Feb 11, 2008

I have been having trouble removing spyware etc from my XP Pro machine, I decided in the end the best thing to do was a complete format. I had recently converted my HD and it's 3 partitions to a dynamic disk, without thinking whilst going through the XP text setup, I clicked delete partition for C: and created a new one, this in turn deleted the dynamic disks, I never clicked format after I had created the new partition and quit the installation. I removed the hard disk and put it in another XP machine, I can see the 3 dynamic volumes using the disk management tool and the all say failed, I cannot get them back online or figure out how to repair them.

Lost Access To Dynamic Disk

Oct 13, 2005

After I did a reinstall of windows xp, I could no longer access one of my disks. It is a dynamic disk, and come up as "unreadable" in the disk management tool of windows. after previous reinstalls of xp I seem to recall to get the option to import the disk, but all I get now is the option to change it to a basic disk, which will in turn erase all my data. If anyone could help me with tips on how to access my disk again without losing data, I'd most appreciate it. Or alternatively tell me where I can find a program to pull the data off the disk before I make it basic.

Cannot Import Dynamic Foreign Disk In PRO

Sep 19, 2005

I intalled Stripe RAID array with (2) WD 74GB Raptors which show up as C. I have a 200GB SATA HDD that was used as backup HDD in same system with previous PATA RAID array. With first XP PRO install I was able to import foreign disk with no problems and data on 200Gb was intact when I connected 200GB drive after updating XP. Because of driver problems on installation, I had to reinstall XP PRO and this time had all drives connected throughout installation. XP saw RAID and 200Gb and i installed XP on RAID array. When I try to import foreign dynamic disk this time it gives me an error," The operation did not complete. Check system log." Log : Error source is LDM. I checked and all sevices are running. 200Gb HDD is in BIOS and in device manager.

Not Booting - Dynamic Disk - Recovery Console

Jul 4, 2005

I have with my disk setup. I have 3 dynamic disks which were all working fine until last night when I upgraded my processor and memory. I have fitted an XP 2600 with 333 FSB in place of the 266 version. I also replaced my 512MB of PC2700 with PC3200. I should explain that I did not realise my MB supported the 333 FSB when I bought it. The PC 3200 is purely to give me some leeway for overclocking. Anyway since changing the memory and PSU the PC will not boot at all. I can boot from a floppy or CD but I cannot from the C drive. If I try to restore from a ghost image on another drive I am not given the option to copy to the C drive at all. If I try to re-install Windows or I try to repair the existing installation, I am not given the option to repair at all. I also cannot get into recovery console

CD-Rom / CD-RW / DVD-Rom Not Reading Data On CD's

May 16, 2004

CD-RW and DVD-Rom stopped reading data on my CD's. They see the CD's but don't read the data, the CD's appear not to contain anything. I've posted the particular problem twice on this forum, but got no answer. For users experiencing the same or similar problems, I've now determined the cause... I've got a SAHARA USB 2.0 flash drive that came with a UFD-utility that enables one to configure the drive into a private and public area, enabling you to safeguard critical files. This utility causes this problem. Unfortunately I could thus far not find a solution, apart from uninstalling the utility and making do without this function. The flash drive works fine otherwise, not causing any problems. Only the UFD-utility does. I will see if I can find an update that resolves this problem and I will let SAHARA know about it.
