mirror drives

Can someone help. I have a system with mirrored drives (hot swapable )(disk
0 and disk 1)
Disk 0 crashed. I was able to replace the drive without have to swap them
or reboot the systme. The problem is when I try to mirror the OS partition.
It is greyed out. I am able to mirror the other partitions with no problem.
How can I recreate the mirror of the OS partiton from Disk 1 to Disk 0
Thanks

Hi Stacy,
FIrst of all, create a fault tolerant boot floppy.

The boot.ini file should be as follows:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows 2000 Serever"
/fastdetect

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows 2000 Server"
/fastdetect
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons

Copy boot.ini, ntdetect.com and ntldr into a formatted floppy and then boot
through it. Then, go to disk management. Right click on disk0 and reactivate
to resynch the two disks. This will also take care of the system partition.
