Hi,

I have just created a Mirror on two 36 GB drives on a
Windows 2000 Server. After the mirror was created I
received an error message saying that I needed to manually
edit the boot.ini file to use the mirror which I did. The
scsi id's of my two disks are primary 0 and secondary 1,
here is an example of what i currently have for a boot.ini
file,

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft
Windows 2000 Server" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft
Windows 2000 Server Mirror Drive"
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Recovery
Console" /cmdcons

Can anyone let me know if this is correct? or if not, what
changes I need to make.

Thanks,

Keith
 
It probably would be;

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Server"
/fastdetect
multi(0)disk()rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
Mirror Drive"
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Recovery Console" /cmdcons
