Broken Mirror
I have a PowerEdge T110 server with a PERC s100 raid controller. Windows 2008 SBS is installed. There are 2 1TB drives in a raid 1 (Mirrored) configuration. There is a 60gb C partition which is very low on disk space. Then there is a 860gb D partition which is really not needed and finally a 39gb unallocated partition after that.
One of the drives failed.
I wanted to use Acronis to clone the C partition of the remaining degraded drive so I could replace both drives with 2-250gb drives which we have and restore just the C partition and resize it for more space.
The problem is this, when booting up with the Acronis, it sees the drive, but no partition information.
Why is this and what can be done to remedy this?

Actually, you must install (on any PC) one of TRIAL versions of business products from here http://www.todo-backup.com/business/
...and then use "Boot Media Builder" tool from this setup to create bootable Linux ISO.
FREE version also supports "Create Emergency Disc", but I am not sure whether it supports Server OS and RAID systems or not. Sorry for the lack of those info :/

Hello schmad01,
Another option could be Clonezilla (Its free and widely used) and use the Partition Option to the partitions you want. I would suggest downloading it from the 'mother-ship' [ http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php ], or from the Cnet site.
