"To perform a disk-to-image cloning operation on a dynamic disk, run Ghost with the -IA switch on the Ghost command line, such as
Ghost.exe -ia
Ghost supports creating a disk image of a dynamic disk only when using the -IA switch on the Ghost command line.
Partition-to-Partition
Ghost supports cloning a partition from a dynamic disk to a basic disk for both simple volumes and mirrored volumes. Ghost does not support cloning a partition to a dynamic disk.
After cloning simple volume or mirrored volume to a basic disk, use the Windows 2000/XP Disk Management MMC utility to convert the destination partition to a simple or mirrored volume."
Nope. Windows 2000 Dynamic disks are a little different.
You can't create a stripe set that's going to be the boot partition because you need to have the OS installed first...and dynamic drives will not work until you're up and running. Now, seperate or hardware arrays, sure. But not boot stuff using Windows built in stuff, that's a big no-no. You can't mirror using XP or 2000 Pro, redundant RAID stuff is only with Server editions.
I know it doesn't really relate, but here's my tour with Dynamic Disks:
