    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.

Started with Windows and apps successfully running on Disk 0 (1TB Seagate). Bought an exact duplicate HDD, recognized as Disk 1. Followed instructions and used Windows Disk Manager to convert Disk 0 to Dynamic, and configured as a mirror with Disk 1. Everything still worked perfectly. Physically...
Hello! I installed Win 7 Ultimate on my system and it has two disk drives. When Win 7 was setup, it partitioned Disk 0 as: 100MB for "System" The rest for C: (incl. boot, page file, crash dump)

My harddrive recently broken and i had to get a replacement from seagate. the new drive is identical in size but it's a 7200.12 and i am currently using a 7200.11. ANYWAYS, i was wondering if there is a way to move everything on this harddrive to this new one so i don't have to do a fresh install?...
