What do you mean you "broke" the software mirroring? Did you remove the mirror drive? Format it? What happens when you try to boot? I assume you were mirroring on an internal drive? My guess is that the drive that you got rid of had the MBR. Try putting in your W2K installation disk and repairing the MBR. Share this post Link to post

sapiens74 0 Posted December 9, 2003 Or you can just take the hard drive that contains the mirror and set it the same as the original disk that it was mirroring For instance if it was the primary master, make sure the mirror is set up the same way, cause the boot.ini points to it.

sentme_mail 0 Posted December 9, 2003 the boot.ini file is correct, but the hdd just does not boot Share this post Link to post
toomy 0 Posted December 17, 2003 If you have win98 or later boot disk that has fdisk on it, boot up from it and start fdisk and set the active partition to the one that you need to boot up. Or if that doesn't work try starting fdisk with /mbr option like: fdisk /mbr that will clear the boot sector from anything that's not supposed to be there. Share this post Link to post
