Hi chaps,

I have an old 2003 server machine here with software raid. It's time to upgrade 
the disks to larger ones so I intend to swap each disk, waiting between swaps 
for the data to resync (prob a day or so) and then use the new spare space to 
create a larger partition in which to move our shared data.

However when it comes time to replace the primary plex drive I'm going to have 
to boot off of the secondary plex. As that wont have an MBR configured on the 
drive, the server will fail to boot, and I'll have to boot from the Windows 
2003 CD, run recovery mode, then run FIXMBR.

Is there something I can do to get the MBR sorted on the secondary plex BEFORE 
I reboot? Time is of the essence when the server is down and I'd like to do as 
much as I can while the server is still running.

Any ideas ?

Olly
