Thank you, Mark!
So is it ok to have the transaction log files in the same E2k files'
physical disk - 1st SCSI DSK? And 2nd SCSI physical DKS only with
database files (I'm looking from disaster recovery angle!)
And how is the IDE HD - c: = 100MB and remaining capacity - d: drive -
OS? My point is, is this give low performance?

Hi Hirantha <big wave>
First thing is C: should be NTFS not FAT16.
Split the transaction logs and databases up, you should not have the
databases and transaction logs on the same physical drive, if the drive
fails you have lost both.
Hope this helps

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..
Thank you in advance
