Or use your boot floppy and edit the boot.ini so it looks at the other drive.
Mirroring is a cheap though not very efficient safeguard. I'd prefer hardware duplexing/mirroring or a good RAID array, but sometimes the extra few $$ just aren't going to come out of a client (or me for that matter - my primary 2000 server is mirrored cause I'm so cheap it's not even mildly humerous). I've had a couple of customers who have kept functioning and recovered easily after a drive fail on mirrored systems. I recommend RAID 5 or better normally, which is usually a nice easy option on real server hardware, but some of my clients think it's overkill to move past file sharing off a 95 workstation for their corporate data - just getting them to think about a server is painful. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ed Esgro Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 2:39 PM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: software mirror It is relatively simple.

Will be purchasing a win2k server with 2 drives in it but do not need to set up a raid or even hardware mirror. Any help would be great. I have never done it so I have no clue if it's just software, where I get it, or what. avi ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
