Guest GregS Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 I have to replace Disk 0 of a software mirrored pair as it has a bad block. The mirror is up showing Healthy (At Risk). Disk 0 is "Online (Error)". Disk 1 is "Online". There are volumes C: and D: in the mirror. Volume C: will not reactivate past 7%. Server still boots without problem from Disk 0. My problem is that if I attempt to boot using Disk1, it starts off promisingly enough showing the Windows Server 2003 startup screen, but then stops with a 7B stop error: "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer" etc. etc... STOP: 0x0000007B (0x89A97268, 0xC0000010, 0x0, 0x0) I have tried booting via "Boot Mirror C: - secondary plex", and tried using a fault tolerant boot floppy, with the same result. Drive 1 won't boot at all if placed in the Drive 0 slot - just stops on a blank screen. Drives are identical 500G sata drives in an HP Proliant ML310G2 box using the onboard SATA controller. Any ideas how I might get past the 7B error? Or is there another way I can attack it without a reinstall and resorting to backups? Thanks, Greg

In future you need to apply the same philosophy to your mirror arrangement as to your backup arrangement: Unless you fully test it while things are going fine, you must consider it as inoperative.

The Search for Data dialog allows the user to configure the search with options for search type and string type. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=49AE8576-9BB9-4126-9761-BA8011FABF38&displaylang=fr Pegasus: Fly to freedom ! ;) lol -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "GregS" <GregS@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D3D3BD4B-7D05-467A-8767-B25C587ED1D1@microsoft.com... >I have to replace Disk 0 of a software mirrored pair as it has a bad block. > The mirror is up showing Healthy (At Risk).

In case others need the info I used the following robocopy commands: robocopy c: e: /E /COPYALL /CREATE robocopy c: e: /E /COPYALL - where c: is the original boot drive and e: is the new drive After the copy, in BartPE I had to edit the registry of the new drive offline to set the boot partition of the new disk to drive C: Ref: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/peboot.htm and: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/223188 I could not log in until I corrected the drive letter problem.
