Using Disk Management Window to Partition Your Drive
Now that you have initialized the disks, again access the Disk Management Window from
the Windows Control Panel as shown below:
Control Panel ->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Storage -> Disk
Management
Take note of 3 sections of this screen:
SECTION 1
: This section lists all formatted and available disks.
SECTION 2
: This section reports on each disk set. DISK 1 in this example represents
two 112 GB physical disks setup as a “Striped RAID Set” in the BIOS RAID
Utility. Note that all of the disk space for the two striped disks are reported
here. On mirrored disks however, only the disk space for one of the two
disks are reported.
SECTION 3
: This section displays all of the partitions for this RAID Set (DISK 1). In the
image above, no partitions have been allocated and thus the RAID Set is
unusable at this time.
