First, I would like to thank Dennis Smith for helping me with my RAID 5 issue. I was able to keep a large RAID 5 set by converting my partition from MBR to GPT. Okay, the issue I’m having now is when I shutdown or reboot the server all my partitions are deleted and I have to rebuild the partitions again. Has anyone ever had this happen before? Oh, on a side note does anyone know how to delete corrupted files without having to blow away the whole partition. I’ve tried everything I know via command line and GUI with no luck.

Alittle History below if needed:
I have a MD1000 with 15 500GB drives and I’m trying to get RAID to work. Configuring everything on my Dell PowerEdge 2950 via the Dell OpenMange Server GUI. Okay, under the PERC5/E Adaptor (PCI slot 1) selected virtual disks and used the advance wizard. Next I selected all the drives under connector 0 and 1 which totaled 13049.00GB using RAID 5. Finished up configuration and went to Disk management where Disk 1 had a total 13049.00GB. Everything so far was okay. I then right clicked on the Disk 1 volume and initialized disk 1 and it split into 2 sections 2048.00GB and 10978.99GB of unallocated space. Now, this wouldn’t be a problem but when I right clicked on the 10978.99GB volume it was grayed out and doesn’t allow me to create new partitions on it. I am however, allowed to create partitions on the 2048.00GB volume. Does anyone have any ideas to why I can partition one block but not the other.
