In order for NT to know to boot off of the second drive of a mirror set, you must edit the boot.ini file. This file is hidden and write protected, so you need to change the file attributes in order to edit it. I would go to the Microsoft site and search for help booting off of the second drive of a mirrored set, or for help breaking the mirror. It's not something that you can do without some knowledge about arc naming conventions.
