Broken Mirror Help
I have a Dell Studio 9000 I ordered with two 600GB drives in a Raid 1 configuration. The other day I got a BSOD and the system wouldn't boot. I ended up taking it to a local Geek shop and they gave it back booting up. They said the boot sector was corrupted and they fixed it. That was probably a mistake since they didn't seem to know what a disk array was and they gave it back with no Raid.
Anyway, now I have two drives a C and a G. The system boots from the C but that brings up a configuration that is from over a year ago. Looking at the G drive that is the one that has everything up to just before the crash. What I think is that the mirroring broke a long time ago and I did not realize it.
Is there a way to make the system boot to the Windows 7 installation on the G drive? Or perhaps there is some other way to get the installation on G back to C?
I started Disk Manager and it shows C with boot,page,crash,primary partition and G with just primary partition.
At this point I am not concerned whether I have the Raid 1 working and am ok with just having two drives.
