  1. Problem with disks


    I wanted to install Windows Vista on my computer. It is out of support, but i said why not. It said: Error: System Reserved H: does not have enough space to install Windows Vista. 300 MB. Free up space and restart installation. Then i open Disk Managment and do the worst thing i've ever done. I thought it would be a good idea to make a new partition with 300 MB of space and name it System Reserved. I don't remember the warning it showed. I clicked Yes, and realized i've just done something bad. It converted all the partitions to Simple. Only C: was Simple, Boot. Everything else was just Simple without boot I'll show a screenshot so you can help me with this:

  2. 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 ^^


    Still EDITING *Stick Out Tongue Problem with disks :p

    side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
