Hey all,
We are in the middle of a swing migration here at work:
http://www.sbsmigration.com/migration-projects.php#what-is-a-swing-migration
In the interest of brevity I am just going to delve into the problem.
I deicded to load Windows XP on our new Dell Poweredge server, in order to be able to transfer (during the day) over 100gb of user data, from the old domain controller. The new server is also the New Domain Controller, and both DC's are running Win 2k3 sbs sp2. So that xp, and sbs 2k3 are being dual booted off the same box.
This server uses a Dell Perc 5/i raid card, and sbs runs perfectly (for sbs).
This server has 2x 80gb sata disks (in a mirror array for drive C)
4x 500 gb sata disks (in a raid 5 array for 3 other partitions)
Partition #1 is 75gb for Exchange 2k3 (D: drive)
Partition #2 is 500gb for misc user data (and the XP install) (F: drive)
Partition #3 is empty space, waiting to be allocated.
Right now the 2nd array is hosting the XP install, as well as a 500gb partition, but under the properties for F: it says the whole drive is 1 gb, and that there are 200megs free...This drive also has a 2gb pagefile.sys that is sitting on it.
The Exchange partition (D
is appearing as 75gb, no problems.
Additionally under Diskmgmt.msc all drives appear as they should, with the amount of free space that they should.
The insane issue is that we need to be able to copy the 100gb of data to the F: partition, and XP is being retarded. I cannot find any M$ articles for this, so TIA Help!!!
