Hi! Expertise, I'm planning to hookup another exchange 2000 server, with disaster recovery in mind. So I read some Microsoft articles with related to disaster recovery specially - Disaster recovery exchange 2000.pdf article. What they say is you have to have 6 hard disks. Unfortunately I do not have much $$$$ ... so my plan is to have a 2 SCSI Drivers - 18GB each and 1 IDE Hard Drive - 40GB, and the hard disk partition scheme is.. FDisk 1 (IDE HD) - Driver C: (Fat16)-windows 2000 boot files and Active drive, 100MB Primary partition - Drive d: (NTFS) - windows 2000 operating system files and swap files Remaining capacity Extended Partition FDisk 2 (SCSI) - Drive E: (NTFS) - Exchange 2000 files and additional server applications, 100% full extended partition FDisk 3 (SCSI) - Drive F: (NTFS) - transaction log files and database files. 100% full extended partition Can I know from you all is this disk partition setups are ok! This will give low performance due to use of the IDE HD????????? Or this is not the way......
