Problem with Dynamic disk

[Daniel]

Hi

I have a PC running XP Pro with two Hard Drives, the C: drive is a basic and
the second drive is a Dynamic.

When I go to Computor Management/Disk management I see that the second drive
shows
Online (errors) and Healthy (at risk).

What does this mean and how can I fix it?

thanks

Daniel

hope it helps.
A dynamic disk's status is Online (Errors).
Cause: The dynamic disk has I/O errors on a region of the disk. A warning
icon appears on the dynamic disk with errors.

Solution: If the I/O errors are temporary, reactivate the disk to return it
to Online status. For instructions describing how to bring the disk back
online, see Reactivate a missing or offline dynamic disk .

For more information about disk status descriptions, see Disk status
descriptions .

A dynamic volume's status is Healthy (At Risk).
Cause: Indicates that the dynamic volume is currently accessible, but I/O
errors have been detected on the underlying dynamic disk. If an I/O error is
detected on any part of a dynamic disk, all volumes on the disk display the
Healthy (At Risk) status and a warning icon appears on the volume.

When the volume status is Healthy (At Risk), an underlying disk's status is
usually Online (Errors).

Solution: Return the underlying disk to the Online status. Once the disk is
returned to Online status, the volume should return to the Healthy status.
If the Healthy (At Risk) status persists, the disk might be failing. Back up
the data and replace the disk as soon as possible. For instructions
describing how to bring the disk back online, see Reactivate a missing or
offline dynamic disk .

That was a big help, thanks, it is all fixed now
