modifying boot.ini file after completing software mirroring
Hi,
I have just completed software mirroring in win2000 .my current boot.ini settings are
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdi
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)par
instead of making bootable floopy with edited boot.ini , can i add another entry in the same ini which takes care of
booting from mirroed disk in case of disk0 failure (like dual boot)
looking forward to early help
regards
venkat

will the default setting reamin same in boot.ini (i.e default=multi(0)disk(0)rdi
or do i have to change the default setting also
or do i have to change the default setting also
Just leave the default the same, it is just that - I.e. you will get the menu but you just choose the other option.
You'll be wanting this more than likely:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdi
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)par
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)par
