Guest MMJII Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Hello All, I have a win 2k adv server 2-18 gb scsi hd's I changed them too dynamic in order to mirror the drives. When I got thru the process i get a dialog box that ask me to add the drive i want to mirror. After i do there is a dialog box that ask to assign a letter on the drive "D". I thought the mirror would be the same letter as the original drive "C". Should i choose "D" as the mirror drive letter, or choose "Do not assign a letter"? Any help is appreciated. Thanks MMJII
Guest MMJII Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Re: Mirroring question I figured it out. I should not have put a volume on the 2nd disk before i attempted to mirror it. \Once I deleted the volume from the 2nd disk, right click, and pick "add mirror" voila "MMJII" <MMJII@microsoft.com> wrote in message news:ef2rhocwIHA.3384@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > Hello All, > I have a win 2k adv server 2-18 gb scsi hd's > I changed them too dynamic in order to mirror the drives. > When I got thru the process i get a dialog box that ask me to add the drive > i want to mirror. > After i do there is a dialog box that ask to assign a letter on the drive > "D".

Hardware Raid (RAID 1) mirrorring is the only good way to do it. Of course it provides no backup redundancy in any case. If a fault occurs that crashes the main drive, the same fault will exist in the mirror copy.
