Windows 2000 Server: Special Disk Configurations

Windows 2000 Server supports several disk configurations. Options include simple, spanned, striped, mirrored, and RAID-5 volumes.

Tip

Remember, the system and boot partitions hold files that are the opposite of what their names imply. The system file contains the boot files, and the boot partition holds the operating system files.

Note

Windows 2000 Professional does not support mirrored and RAID-5 volumes. It does support simple, spanned, and striped dynamic volumes.
