Check in the BIOS whether you can select the remaining disk to be first in the boot order, or move it's cable so it is connected to the port your bad disk was connected to.

This wont work as there is no boot information on the secondary RAID disk (its Window 2008 Software RAID)

&quot;If you didn't also mirror that partition, then of course you can't boot&quot; - exactly. I would look at that first, then look at the rest if even needed. (Just repeating, it's Rindi's idea :)

Have a Windows 2008 Server with Software Raid 1, Primary Drive has failed - but Windows boots if selecting Seconday Plex Boot Option.<br />
<br />
Removing the Primary drive and No OS Found message when booting.<br />
<br />
How can I make the secondary plex bootable on its own - So I can break the mirror and re-establish new. Tried Booting off Windows Server DVD but it doesn't find any C Drive.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Microsoft Server OS

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
