Which drive failed?

Netware 5.1 in very old hardware. One of the mirrored hard drives apparently failed. Been out of synch for a few days, can get "Unable to read partition information" message.

I don't think there is a DOS partition on both drives, so I am hesitant to down a production server.

How can I tell which drive is not working without downing the server.

Also, shouldn't I be able to see partitioning information in NWconfig?
 
If you do a LIST DEVICES from the server console, does that give you an indication?

Thank you! I had forgotten about that command.
Turns out the primary drive is dead, but fortunately the secondary has the necessary partitions to start & run the server.

Thanks again!!!
