I have a computer which initialy booted from C: . Then it crashed and i installed Win XP pro on D:. Later i added a Raid 1 and installed on it XP pro again- the letter is H. Under computer, manage, disk management i have c: = Boot, D = System and H is just healty with no status. The boot.ini and ntldr are on drive D only.
I WISH that i can make H the boot , because it is a raid 1 , then later on i will remove the disk 1 which is C and D.
The raid is Sata , and the old C&D is IDE 3 years old.
An Interesting question is also , is that i believe the Raid or H or the two hard drives , do not have a boot sector on them.
On the recovery console i tried to fix the MBR, and the only one listed was for disk one C&D, and disk two was not there.
I have too much on the H to reinstall windows and programs again in one single drive in computer and then to make a raid by adding an extra disk.
Boot.ini:
[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 XP Professional Drive H" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Drive D" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons
Can you help please ?
Thank you
Ion
