With the development of dynamic disk technology, there are so many Windows server users who are employing dynamic disk for better performance. To create striped volume in dynamic disk is a very common operation in dynamic disk management. However, this operation is not that easy to realize. Even though Windows server operating systems are equipped with system built-in disk management tool, this tool is very unpractical in actual operation. In this case, server users are mostly looking for a piece of professional partition magic to manage dynamic disk in server. Fortunately, in the present software market, we can find such a kind of partition magic now. With this kind of partition magic, server users can easily use partition magic to create striped volume in server. When choosing one partition magic to create striped volume, users should be careful because some kinds of partition magic have functional defect that will cause operation failure or data loss, bring unnecessary trouble to work and life. At this time, we strongly recommend the professional partition magic - MilfordSoft Partition Star for you. Use partition magic to create striped volume - MilfordSoft Partition Star To use partition magic to create striped volume in server, we first need to visit the official website of MilfordSoft Partition Star to download it and install it to server. Then, we can launch it in server: This is main interface of MilfordSoft Partition Star. Here, to create striped volume, we need to select the unallocated space in disk, and click on "Create" button: In this interface, we need to select the type of dynamic volume. Of course, we need to select "Striped" option, and click "Next" button: In this interface, we can select the disks providing space for striped volume. After that, click "Next" button: In this interface, we can set properties of this striped volume, including file system, drive letter, cluster size, and volume size, etc. After setting, click "Finish" button to return: Back to main interface, we will see there is one new striped volume shown in the volume list. Click "Apply" button to execute operation. Thus, we can successfully finish the work of using partition magic to create striped volume in server.

Basic disks use normal partition tables supported by MS-DOS and all Windows versions. A basic disk contains basic volumes, such as primary partitions, extended partitions, and logical drives. If you have any volume sets, stripe sets, mirror sets, or stripe sets with parity, you must back them up and delete or convert them to dynamic disks before you install Windows XP Professional. A basic or dynamic disk can contain any combination of FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS partitions or volumes. The disadvantage of a basic disk is that you are limited to creating only four primary partitions per disk or three primary partitions and one extended partition with logical drives. Windows NT based systems can support striping and software RAID sets for basic disks but Windows 2000/XP/2003 do not.Dynamic disks are supported in Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003. Dynamic disks do not use partitions or logical drives. Dynamic disks were first introduced with Windows 2000. With dynamic disks you can create volumes that span multiple disks such as spanned and striped volumes, and you can also create fault tolerant volumes such as mirrored volumes and RAID 5 volumes. Dynamic disks offer greater flexibility for volume management because they use a database to track information about dynamic volumes on the disk and about other dynamic disks in the computer. Windows Server 2003 can repair a corrupted database on one dynamic disk by using the database on another dynamic disk. With dynamic storage, you can perform disk and volume management without restarting Windows.Dynamic disks are not supported on laptop computers or on computers with Windows XP Home Edition installed. The number of volumes that you can create on a dynamic hard disk is only limited by the amount of free space available. Windows XP Pro, Home or 64 Bit Edition does not support mirrored or RAID5 volumes.You can use both basic and dynamic disks on the same computer system.
