Windows 2003 disks problem (diskmanager)

hello!

i using windows 2003 enterprise server fileserver. using 7 disks (2 direct isci & 5 vmdk disks). 2 of disks simple dynamic disks. no use of striped/spanned, mirrored/raid configuration on those.

when installing new backup system our compagny, had change dynamic disks basic disks. made use of diskmanagement tool, deleted volume, use "convert basic disk.." option, , created partition on new empty basic disk to restore backup on.

i should have rebooted server while doing this, didn't. after things went weird:

i had perform reboot, , after coming on again, new basic disk had no data on it. blank.

i had problems files on disk too. maps became corrupted. folders went unaccessable. or using different file attrib (all files read instance).

i experienced weird thing, rebooted server , when came on again, diskspace identical disk, , content same! content should have been on there, gone.. recreated partition , after @ it's normal size again, never seen such thing.

i tried formating several times, looked @ mbr contents, in disk management tool looks normal. no errors in eventviewer problem related. created new vmdk's, attached our fileserver , created new basic disk on windows server. used same volume name , sharenames new disks. still problems keeps existing.

can give pointers for? kinda relunctant perform mbr bootfix. have full backup of our data, can restore whole server, it's aweful lot of work when things go wrong.

thanks in advance help,

kind regards, ingmar snippe.
