Dynamic disk

[Daniel Jones]

Using Windows 2000pro I received a second hand computer
recently for use with a new Epson printer. there are three
drives one of which is a dynamic drive and in Drive
Manager there is a yellow exlamation ..it says the drive
is healthy but at risk. I would like to convert this drive
( my G) to a regular basic drive with no partitions and
get rid of the risky status. Is this possible?This
computer was originally used for animation and is complex.
I don,t understand why in device manger all three drives
say scsi but all three are connected to the ide
CONNECTORS.on the VP6 Motherboard.using Nortons Disk
doctor I found no errors of any kind on all three drives.
Thanks for any help.

This probably is too simple but try removing the drives in your device
manager (Windows will pick them back up again) then defragmenting the drives
and use Norton Disk Doctor in enable free space scanning mode. They may
have been connected to an add-in ATA card but put back into place before you
got the computer.

Also, in safe mode, update the chipset drivers

Check to see if you need a bios update (bios updates are risky so do at your
own risk).
