Hello All, I hope it's okay to ask this here, because wanting to mirror my Exchange Store drive is the root of me wanting to do this... and I am sure you experienced Admins have seen lots of unique "drive related" issues over the years.
I know for a fact, that my store drive (which also happens to be my boot volume) has some bad blocks on there. Yet, when I run a CheckDisk on it - it doesn't want to flag them, and mark them unusable. Since I know that the drive may be in trouble, I immediately put another drive in the system, so I can mirror the "potentially failing" drive - and then make the freshly mirrored drive primary (taking out the original drive altogether when the process is finished). For some reason, if you attempt to mirror a drive with bad blocks, it pukes when it comes upon those blocks - rather than skipping over and proceeding. I suppose I can understand this, because of the Mirroring process wanting to create an *exact* image of the master drive. What the heck can I do, in order to get this drive - mirrored to another one? Ghost does not work - because I think these bad blocks are causing problems too. I am avoiding the process of backing up, and restoring my system - to a fresh install. I don't have the luxury of all that downtime, etc. I would deeply appreciate anything offered to help remedy this problem. Thanks in advance, Mike _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
