    How to install Windows on a spanned volume?


    Okay, this is the problem I have. For YEARS I had 4 external drives of 640GB each. All these drives functioned as backup drives for my main backup for my personal stuff. Besides these 4 drives I have a server on which I keep one big encrypted volume, one on my main pc and one on a 2TB loose hard drive I keep 'offsite' in the trunk of my car (well protected and moisture free).

    I came to a point that my date exceeded the maximum capacity of those 4 drives. I bought a second hand quad core...

    Combine HDD into one? {alternative to spanned volume}

    I believe both drives need to be setup as dynamic to allow for a spanned volume to be configured across both of them. Here's some links on some info for spanned volumes and the other types that Disk Management in Windows can do for you.

  4. How to install Windows on a spanned volume?

    Diskpart not locating volume with windows installed on it

    Hello,

    I have a desktop that is currently stuck in a Repair loop, and goes to BSOD. One thing I found is when I try to rebuild BCD it says Total identified Windows installations: 0.

    Currently it appears Windows is installed on the X:\ drive of this computer, but when I check diskpart and list volumes it doesn't show X:\ and none of the volumes displayed have a system partition in them.

    If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it!
