The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q114420

SYMPTOMS

You may receive this message when you open Disk Administrator:
A stripe set or volume set member listed in the configuration is missing
Each reboot generates error EventID 012 with the source FTDISK in the event log.

CAUSE

A disk drive has been removed from a volume set or a stripe set. Disk Administrator retains information about the drive in the event that it is replaced and issues the error message.

RESOLUTION

To eliminate the error message, use the Registry Editor to delete the DISK key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM. Run Disk Administrator to recreate the DISK key with the current information.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be resolved. Use this tool at your own risk.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
