I have a W2K compaq dl380 with a hardware array controller running 2
volumes...a system volume and a data volume...both are configured as dynamic
disks....the question: if I do a clean install of 2003 server on the system
volume will it recognize the data volume still or will I need to restore the
data on that volume from backup?

thanks...

You are not clear if you have two logical disks, or two volumes on one, but
I'm presuming one.

In Win2000 reinstalling on a dynamic disk usually means disaster, according
to this MS Knowledge Base article:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=227364

I haven't found any similar article that applies to Win2003, but I'm fairly
sure that it does.

Doing the backup and restore of the data volume would have an extra
benefit, you would be back to a basic disk again.

Best regards

Bjorn
