A client has a mirrored arrangement where the primary drive has failed. He
removed the failed drive, changed the second to master (yes ide), and can
now boot from a floppy to start the machine. When the machine is started
from the floppy, everything seems fine, except the c: is not the system
drive. When trying to boot from the HDD, it fails. In recovery console, the
boot drive is e:

Any suggestions on how to make the c: the system drive?
