I have windows 2003 server running software raid 1 (mirror)
2 x 80GB Sata drives
\i cant boot at all now because...
I tried to upgrade the drives to two 160 GB Sata drives.
Broke the mirror (Disk2)
Shut down put new disk in
rebooted, sofar so good, server started.
made mirror again adding disk2
it syncronsed ok
Next I broke the mirror again Disk1
shut down, put new 160 Gb Sata in
rebooted.....waited....flashing curser
replaced old drive back got NTLDR is missing, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.
I have tried putting original drives back but still cant boot to server. what am I doing wrong
I have just the weekend to get this running again.
since you have little time, I suggest purchasing a commercial product. (check out runtime.org)
you don't know, for example, if before you broke the original mirror, if the data was in sync. if it was not, then you could have used stale data as the source for the first clone ... then blown it away when you wrote over the live data on the next resync ... no way to know at this point.
