Logical Disk Message
Hi
I'm a SA for a small organisation. Running Windows Server2000.
While looking at the SBS Admin console over the past 2 days i'm given the following info:
Logical Disk C:- Free Space 18% 3184MB
Logical Disk D:- Free Space 42% 14830MB
Logical Disk E:- Free Space 80% 156847MB (External HDD)
Logical Disk Harddisk Volume2 %Free Space 0% 0MB
Logical Disk Total Free Space 70% 174863MB
Can someone advise what the 0% Free Space on Logical HDisk Volume2 is telling me please? To my eye all disks appear to have free space.
We have exchange 2000 on this DC as well. I have staff limits on Mailbox size. The remaining size available is 3GB.
Please let me know if any further info is required as this has me stumped.
Thanks

Right click on that volume within diskmanagement and select properties. It should tell you what that volume is.

Hi Rindi,
That volume does not appear anywhere in Disk Management. All that are showing is under volumes are C, D & E drives.
Under Logical Drives are C, D, E & M.

Where exactly did you see that volume then? It could of course be a cardreader device, or a virtual disk. Also m is a mapped drive used for exchange, maybe it is that.

The Volume appears in the Small Business Server Administrator Console, under Server Status(Back Office Home), Performance Counters. It shows a graph as well as the Drives & the free space.
It's only appeared over the past couple of days. I don't know of any Card Reader devices or Virtual Disks.
Could be exchange server related. It's not affecting anything at present, but can never be to sure.

in a command prompt run:
diskpart list disk
diskpart list partition
diskpart list volume
That should give you the details on your connected devices.
diskpart list disk
diskpart list partition
diskpart list volume
That should give you the details on your connected devices.

When i try that it returns
"diskpart is not recognised as an internal or external command"
"diskpart is not recognised as an internal or external command"
Look for diskpart.exe on an XP pc and copy it to the server, then try it again.
ASKER
Still no go.
"Diskpart was unable to process the parameters. Use Diskpart /? for more info."
I've tried to use the syntax it's recommending in the '/?'but still can't get it list anything.
Sorry.

Sorry.
What about just diskpart, then you get a new prompt, and from there you can help or ? or the other commands I mentioned.

Now we're cookin!
List Disk gives me:
Disk 0, Online, Size 17GB, Free 0B (?)
Disk 1, Online, Size 34Gb, Free 0B
Disk2,Online, Size 190Gb, Free 0B
List Volume & List Partition do not show anything out of the ordinary or any reference to that Hard disk Volume2. They are only showing the C, D & E drives.
