Hi All,
I just fired up the recovery console for the first time in RR and I noticed that there is no longer a disk management feature. In AA it was a tab where you could partition and format the destination volumes. It was pretty handy, is there a reason it was eliminated?
Good catch, I never even realized it was missing. Looks like diskpart is still in there however so you'd have to open up command prompt and from the prompt:
x:\Windows\System32>diskpart.exe
That will open up diskpart and that allows you do partition your drives.
I hadn't noticed it was missing from the menu honestly.
I'll give that a try. We bought a spare server just to try restoring with so I'm sure I'll have some other questions. I have done a few with AA but the process is a little different now it appears.
For example I gave up trying to preload drivers on the boot disk. I would not take zip files or inf files or exe's. I ended up extracting the driver files to a folder and just adding them to D:\Drivers folder on the boot USB I made from the iso. You can then "force load" RAID, NIC and chipset drivers one at a time from the rescue console. Browse to the drivers folder, select your inf file and load it.
EDIT: OK so I had forgotten that diskpart was command line. I was thinking GParted for some reason. I can figure it out but this is awful. We really need some sort of simple GUI based disk partitioning scheme on here.
