Has anyone else tried WinXPpro on mirrored IDE drives? How do you break
the mirror in case of HD failure (in order to recover whatever is available
on what's left of the "surviving" drive)?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Dan,

If you are mirroring the drives via a IDE Raid Controller you don't have to
do anything other than replace the bad drive. In the meantime your system
should run just fine.

Are you using hardware RAID (a hardware controller in the computer) or
Windows XP software RAID? Either way, you don't want to break the mirror.
If one drive fails, it's status will be listed as such and the other drive
will automatically take over. Then, you remove the bad drive and replace
it. In either hardware or software RAID, you would want to rebuild the
mirror on the new drive (sometimes this is done automatically when the new
drive is put in).
