Thanks.....
I tried the link and followed the instruction but got to certain point where
diskprobe try to open any physical disk.
According to the instruction it should listed all the physical disk but it
didn't, so I could not continue. I still don't know what I did wrong....
I will try again later on.....
But I appreciate the link.....
