I had a windows 2000 software mirror fail with the primary drive (SCSI) being completely dead. I managed to create a boot floppy that has boot.ini, ntdetect.com and ntldr on it and was able to boot to the second drive. I removed the mirror and made sure the boot.ini points to the correct partition etc.
My problem is that the server will not boot without the floppy, even though the boot.ini on the floppy and the server are exactly the same. The win2k system partition is set to active. I am running out of ideas so if somebody has any ideas I'd appreciate the input.
