We are running a Novell 4.11 system with 2 mirrored scsi drives. &nbsp;The main drive that boots is going bad but still functional. &nbsp;The second drive only contains the novell partition - not the dos partition. &nbsp;Can I take a blank drive - create a similar dos partition on it - insert it into the system and let it mirror over? &nbsp;Will I need to manually create a novell partition on it? If so how do I do this. &nbsp;Thanks for your help

Drive going bad in Novell 4.11 - Mirroring

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
