Basic Disks
A physical disk that contains primary partitions, extended partitions, or logical drives. Basic disks may also contain spanned, mirrored, striped, and RAID-5 logical drives.
The following tasks may be performed on basic disks:
- Create and delete primary and extended partitions
- Create and delete logical drives with an extended partition
- Format a partition and mark it as active
- Delete logical drive sets, stripe sets, mirror sets, and stripe sets with parity
- Break a mirror from a mirror set
- Repair a mirror set or a stripe set with parity
For more information on basic disks, refer to your Windows 2000 or Windows NT user documentation.
