Guest Computer Management -> Disk Management hangs "detecting logical disk"

Hi,

I have several guests installed under VPC 2004 SP1 (original host was
Win2K server). I'm in the process of moving these guests to another
machine: HP Proliant DL3XX, Win2K3 Server. All guests are Win2K server.

Several of the guests originally included one VHD (with the C:
partition), and a 2nd VHD (the D: partition), where I have the swap
partition.

What I've been doing is to move the guests is to copy the VMC and the
VHD containing the C: partition to the HP Proliant, then creating a new
VHD for the swap partition, and then starting the guest (on the HP).

When I start the guests that use the 2nd, swap partition on the HP,
Win2K apparently doesn't see the 2nd, swap partition, so it typically
creates a small (20MB) swap file on the C: drive. I then go into
Computer Management->Disk Management, detect the 2nd partition, format
the 2nd partition, and configure Win2K to put the swap file on D:.

This has worked fine, except in one case. Win2K Server (the guest)
starts up ok, but when I go to Disk Management, the right pane is grayed
out, and it looks like the Disk Management app basically hangs.

I've verified that the guest setup is ok, i.e., the 2nd drive is
pointing to the 2nd VHD, etc., and I've tried rebooting that guest
several times, and the same thing seems to happen each time.

Does anyone have any ideas about what the problem might be? Also, any
ideas about what I can do to get this one guest working properly and add
the 2nd swap partition?

Thanks,
Jim
