Hello, can anyone please let me know the exactly how to edit my boot.ini for mirror drive? I have two physical drives. One on C and the shadow drive is also C. When I mirror my drives there was a note telling me to edit my boot.ini. Do I need to edit my boot.ini now before one of the drive goes bad? Please was syntext: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1).

You don't need to edit now. The message was in case the main drive died and you had to reboot to the second drive. If you only have one controller, then the boot.ini would read multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1).

Put that on a boot disk to use in case the first drive fails. Pretty unlikely. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
