    I know I can use fsutil volume querycluster to get which file occupies a specific cylinder, but how do I do the opposite? If this is the wrong place to ask this please let me know where would be more appropriate. Thanks.

    Cylinder Creation

    How do I change just the z dimension of a cylinder without changing the y dimension. I brought the cylinder in form the catalog under the Insert menu?

  3. Disk management console view is not up-to-date

    i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




    open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


    enter in
    DISKPART
    list disk

    then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
    type in

    Select Disk 7
    List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
    Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
    ASSIGN


    that should get the array up and running ready to use.


    EDITED.

    any problems, post back ^^
