SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You have a Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer that contains a dynamic disk volume. You mount this computer by using a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0-based computer that hosts Remote Recover. In this scenario, you can correctly identify the remote dynamic disk volume as a dynamic disk volume. However, you cannot view all the contents of the dynamic disk volume.

Note Remote Recover is a component of the Winternals Administrator's Pak.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because Windows NT 4.0 does not support the Windows 2000 dynamic disk configuration.



MORE INFORMATION
If you upgrade a volume from basic disk to dynamic disk without making additional changes to the partition setup, a Windows NT 4.0-based computer that hosts Remote Recover can perform read-and-write options to the volume. However, if you create a dynamic disk volume from the RAW format, the Windows NT 4.0-based computer that hosts Remote Recover can perform read-and-write options to the volume.
