Mirroring

[learningprocess]

I am running Win2k3 and wish to implement a mirroring using Win2k3's mirror feature.

I have 2 identical hdd place as Disk0 and Disk1.

I already convert the Disk0 (where boot/OS reside) to dynamic disk.

However after restarting I couldn't add mirror on Disk0, anyone here know where go wrong?

Thanks!

Disk 1 also needs to be a Dynamic Volume.

@learningprocess,

Please post the steps you used when trying to create the mirror.

Steps involved:

1. Have 2 identical HDD in the CPU Disk0 and Disk1

2. Both formated with NTFS

3. Install OS in Disk0

4. Minor Config to browse Internet

5. Convert Disk0 to Dynamic Disk

(Convert Disk1 to Dynamic Disk too as mention by @Minus Human)

6. Restart

7. Try to add mirror but failed!

Hope it give a clear picture.

Ok I have figure out what I did wrong.

I only need to convert Disk1 to dynamic disk and need not create any logical drive for Disk1.

Now I have done the mirroring part.

I have tried to get some help from the windows help file and couldn't find any topic related to recovery from mirrored disk (Disk1 in this case). I would like to crash the file in Disk0 and try to recover it from Disk1, but before I do that I really do hope you guys can give me some guideline on how to do recovery from the mirrored disk.

Thanks again!
