by the way, Q16 is right.

here's from CISCO directly:

"Drive Status
The Disk Management utility displays the status of each disk, as shown in Figure 2. The hard drives in the computer will display one of the following conditions:

Foreign – A dynamic disk that has been moved to a computer from another computer running Windows 2000 or Windows XP

Healthy – A volume that is functioning properly

Initializing – A basic disk that is being converted into a dynamic disk

Missing – A dynamic disk that is corrupted, turned off, or disconnected

Not Initialized – A disk that does not contain a valid signature

Online – A basic or dynamic disk that is accessible and shows no problems

Online (Errors) – I/O errors that are detected on a dynamic disk

Offline – A dynamic disk that is corrupted or unavailable

Unreadable – A basic or dynamic disk that has experienced hardware failure, corruption, or I/O errors
