  1. I have an NT 4.0 fileserver with a Mylex SCSI RAID 5 problem and I need to re-initialize the array. The operating system is on the C: partition of the RAID and the data resides on the D: partition. This server is the PDC of the domain and I will not be able to do a complete re-install without a bunch of problems. I think I can solve the problem by doing the following: 1- Install an IDE drive partitioned like the SCSI. 2- copy the system files from the SCSI RAID to the IDE 3- edit the boot.ini on the IDE 4- reboot to the IDE 5- re-initialize the array. 6- copy the system files back to the SCSI RAID 7- edit the boot.ini on the SCSI 8- reboot to the SCSI RAID My questions: 1- Can I accomplish the appropriate boot order by simply editing the boot.ini files or are there other considerations? 2- Will the xcopy32 program with the correct switches adequately copy the entire SCSI c: partition to the IDE? Comments are greatly appreciated! Thanks.
