Server 2003 hard driver problems

So I'm training for Windows Server 2003 70-290 certification, and my
server has been configured with the following roles: File Server,
Print Server, Application Server, Domain Controller (Active
Directory), and DNS Server. My book wanted me to create a volume
shadow copy on a separate partition. As of now my hard drive is
configured as basic disk and so I just made an extended partition the
size I wanted and created a logical drive in the extended partition
with the exact space of my extended partition. Later on, I found out
that this was a big mistake because I should have partitioned the rest
of my hard drive as an extended partition and created a smaller
logical drive within that partition for the volume shadow copy,
because the book wanted me to create 2 logical drives but you can only
have one extended partition right?...right...So, I had to delete the
parition with my volume shadow copy on it and it had me restart my
server, so I did. but upon startup one of the drivers failed to load
and a window came up before my login screen and told me to check it
out in Event Viewer, but when I went to Event Viewer I found nothing.
My server seems to be running okay, and I was able to create the 2
partitions which were later converted to dynamic disk (which I should
have done in the first place), but every time my server boots I get
the same message telling me that a device driver couldn't be
detected........can anyone help me out?

There should be an error in the Device Manager then.
