SYMPTOMS
When you import foreign volumes into Windows 2000 Professional, some volumes may be displayed with a "failed" status and cannot be reactivated.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the volume being imported is configured as a type not supported by Windows 2000 Professional.
For example, a volume configured as a Mirror or Raid-5 set in Windows 2000 Server appears with "failed" status after it is imported in Windows 2000 Professional. Windows 2000 Professional does not support software disk mirroring or RAID-5 fault tolerant sets and cannot activate the imported volume.
