Greetings,
I have an NT 4.0 server w/SP3 on an HP NetServer E50. It has an HP/Adaptec 2940UW SCSI card w/2 9.1 GB HD’s attached.
The drives were mirrored and have a 750 MB FAT C: partition. The D: partiton uses the remainder of the drive and is NTFS.
Recently the drive with ID1 failed. I removed the drive, booted with an NT boot disk, got into NT without any problems, I then broke the mirror. At this point everything is working normally, except, I need to make the remaining drive bootable. I keep getting a message saying Boot: NTLDR not found, insert another disk.
I have checked the Boot.ini file and have check the existing drive for the existance of the NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM file and they are on the root of the exisiting drive.I changed the ID of the good drive to “0” but it didn’t help. Nobody ever made a repair disk. What do I need to do to make it bootable? I am concerned that when I put the new replacement drive in and mirror it, it still won’t be bootable.
Many thanks,
Brian
