Upgrade to dynamic disk greyed out

Hi

I've got a windows 2000 advanced server sp4 with a soft disk mirror (disk0 and disk1), disk1 failed and was replaced with a new one, I've broken the mirror but when I try to convert the new disk1 to dynamic to recreate the mirror, the "upgrade to dynamic disk" option is not available. Any ideas

Regards

I have seen this happen in two cases. In one, the disk was partitioned from
a pre-Win2000 operating system, not leaving space enough for it to be
converted to dynamic. In the other case, a third party disk management
program was installed on the computer that disabled the option to convert
to dynamic disk.


Best regards

Bjorn
