Article ID: 235264 - Last Review: October 30, 2006 - Revision: 3.1 Imported Volume Is Displayed with "Failed" Status in Windows 2000 ProfessionalThis article was previously published under Q235264 SYMPTOMS
When you import foreign volumes into Windows 2000 Professional, some volumes may be displayed with a "failed" status and cannot be reactivated.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the volume being imported is configured as a type not supported by Windows 2000 Professional. For example, a volume configured as a Mirror or Raid-5 set in Windows 2000 Server appears with "failed" status after it is imported in Windows 2000 Professional. Windows 2000 Professional does not support software disk mirroring or RAID-5 fault tolerant sets and cannot activate the imported volume. MORE INFORMATION
