Hi Guys,
We've recent bought several Dell servers and built them using Windows Server 2008. Not realising, the machines were rolled into production with a small partition on them originally created by Dell. This partition is showing as the Active System Partition and is FAT32.
We've rolled out Microsoft Data Protection Manager 2007 as part of our backup solution, which is working fine apart from the fact it can not backup the System State on the Windows 2008 servers. This ability was added in the last 'Feature Pack' but, although available, doesn't work on these new servers.
I've now identified the problem with DPM is because of the FAT32 Active System partitions.
Does anyone know of a reliable, safe way of changing the Active System partition so I can remove the FAT32 from the System State backup.
Cheers
DD
