Disk Management

[SilentNight]

I have MS 2000 Pro Book (part of MSCE series) and it states that I should be able to resize, add and delete volumes, on the fly through the disk management snap in under Admin Tools. It says I'll be able to 'Right Click the unallocated space on the dynamic disk where I want to create a volume.' It indicates that this 'launches the Create Volume Wizard'. This never happens.
What I am trying to do is this...I want to create three partitions or volumes, one for the system, one for the programs, and one for the data.
I was thinking of partitioning into 3, but w/ 2000 I can't get a DOS fdisk command to work. It won't work in cmd. So how can I
run fdisk now?
Last, I understand that 2000 supports dynamic volumes, but 2000 automatically made it a basic drive when it patritioned the drive (I am pretty sure this is why my 'create volume' snap-in isn't working.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

You can change a basic disk to a dynamic disk. This is a one way process i believe.

Have a look at the below link, it should be of some assistance.

If you want to still do all of this through Fdisk, you can still use the 98 boot disk to make all your partition changes. Win2000 will recongize these partitions.
