I'm going to try something now that I'm hopeful will work. I'll keep you posted...

second choice .... NOT prefered.. give up on mirror drive idea, ghost to a another 2nd drive, pull my master and restore to a 3rd new drive. test the restored drive. Now everyone tells me this should work , but I DO NOT WANT TO TEST IT when I have too, then find out it didn't work I just want to have a totally tested/ running backup drive that I can switch to master and fire.. total down time 45 seconds.
I am a dreamer of course. 
no partitions
original back in the system as the slave, it will boot from the new drive .. bet you it is booting from slave.. mine did same thing.. you are going to have to disble windows in the orginal to really test that. like change the windows directory to windowsHOLD |
