Change "System" Drive
Had a single drive...two partitions reserved and windows
added a hardware raid 5
mirrored single drive partition windows to raid 5 (both drives became dynamic)
broke mirror
deleted single drive windows partition
boots and works...as long as both drives are present...
I want to remove the single drive...but I cannot seem to figure out how to set the raid to the active drives.
msconfig only shows 1 drive current os and default os
I cannot use the 7 dvd to repair without both drives installed and it seems like all it's doing is "fixing" the single drive mbr...which does me no good.
I tried setting the active partition with diskpart...but I barely know what I'm doing...
help please?
I have tried to just reimage the drive to another...cannot find my ghost disk and acronis does not work on dynamic drives...
I'm also having the same issue with servers...we run a windows made mirrored set and when we remove drive 0 they no longer boot...
I feel stupid asking this but I have spent way too much time searching and trying things...I need pro help!
thanks!
