  Be aware that a "Dynamic Disk" no longer has the standard IBM-PC
partition table, and thus the entire disk will no longer be usable to
anything but Windows 2000 and later.  (Usually not a problem for
servers, but sucks if you're dual booting...)

  Be sure you create the "Fault Tolerant Boot Disk" floppy or whatever
it's called, so you can boot from the second hard drive if the first
malfunctions.
