During such a system or adapter changeover, be sure to manually remap drives to drive letters using Disk Manager. This restores proper access to your data.

Windows 2000 dynamic disk snapshots and snapclones The use of snapshots and snapclones in HP SANs is not supported in a Windows 2000 environment if the snapshot or snapclone is presented to the same Windows 2000 host as the LUN from which the snapshot or snapclone was created. Snapshot and snapclone are features of the HSG80 and HSV110 controller-based HP storage systems. All dynamic disks on a system have information in their metadata about the other dynamic disks that exist on the system.
