EWF multiple volume problem

[Podi]

Hi,

I am trying to protect partitions 1 & 4 on disk 0 with
C,E,F,G,unallocated. Please tell me what might be the cause of failing
ConfigureEwf(). See FBA log file below.

Thanks so much.

You can only have 4 primary partitions on a drive. The EWF volume wants to
setup a 5th, but it can't because you can only have 4. 3 partition and
unallocted space will work fine. If C, E,F,G are critical, you could add
another drive with a single partition and unpartitioned space so the EWF
volume can be setup.

Thanks Sean. I reduced the disk to 3 partitions and it works now!

I have another question: would EWF RAM Reg mode work if I have 4
primary partitions on a single disk?

Regards.
