Justin, I would think that any modification to the boot.ini wold be done in the event of failure. The driver, FTDISK.SYS, that does the fault tolerant mirroroing in this scenario, assumes the primary drive in the mirror to be disk 0, so the boot.ini should point there. In the event of failure of the PRIMARY DRIVE, the boot.ini would need to be pointed to disk 1.
I suspect that this is what was being referenced - but I haven't set up a software mirror in years.

Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2003 11:43 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' I thought it said that you would have to edit the boot.ini to allow for mirrored sets, but I just read something on the web that says that the program will modify the boot.ini for you. -----Original Message----- From: Raymond McClinnis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2003 12:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Mirror Sets Doesn't the message say to edit the boot.ini if you have a crash?

Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2003 11:49 AM To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] Mirror Sets I have created a mirror set on a windows 2000 SP3 server running one scsi controller with two scsi hard drives. A message popped up saying that I should modify the boot.ini file. Should I modify this file? If so how would I know what to modify it to. I have never setup a mirror set before and would appreciate any help on this. Justin A.
