I recently tried booting from a mirror drive using a modified boot.ini file. The original path was multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2). There are only 2 SCSI drives on the same controller on 2 different channels. I changed it to multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2) and it didn't take it. The server have had no problem until a recent glitch. The WINNT directory is in C partition and there's a EISA partition sitting in front. From what I read in several references, I only need to change the rdisk from 0 to 1, but it didn't work. Does anyone know what did I do wrong? Thanks.

Is there an identical EISA partition installed on both the active drive and the mirror? If the EISA partition isn't installed on the mirror, you will not be able to boot to it without editing the boot sector (ugh!!).
