SUMMARY

This article discusses upgrading a storage device driver that points to dynamic disks.

When you upgrade a storage device driver that points to dynamic disks, you must restart the computer. Use the Disk Management snap-in to check the status of any affected dynamic disks. The dynamic disk volumes will remain intact. However, after restarting the computer, you may need to manually set the volume to Online status, perform an Import Foreign Disks, or if you are running Windows 2000 Server with RAID-5, you may need to regenerate data and parity information.
