Is there a rule that Win2K/XP/2003 cannot be installed onto an hdd that is already a dynamic disk? If you have a 2K system and you want to make it a dual boot with 2003, but the disk is dynamic are you prevented fron installing the 2nd OS? If this is true, in order to wipe out the drive, would I have to slave it into a system with another disk with a 2K type of OS on it?

cheez, its been way to long since I did that. I believe 2003 should have no problems with it, but older os might. By the way, nice of you to have a teutonic knigh as a pic... Care to face him off againts my megaman?

From what I know in Win2k I don't think you can Dual boot with dynamic drives. I don't know if that is sovled in 2k3.

You can do dual boot with Dynamic Disks, but there are catches.

Thanks guys. I found out, as you say, that you cannot put more than one OS on a dynamic drive. I used FDISK to remove the non-DOS partition and started from scratch to dual boot Win2K Server and 2003 Server.
