SYMPTOMS

When using Disk Administrator to add or modify drive letters on a Cluster Server disk that has multiple partitions, changes committed to the system are not properly represented when cycling the disk from offline to online status.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
