I have two drives and using replicator to backup c: onto d: so hopefully d:
has the exact files as on c:. However when I just had a primary drive
failure I was unable to use the secondary as a primary to run winxp. I had
to reload winxp on my secondary so I could run it until another driive is
found. I thought the reason to have a backup drive is to be able to
substitute it for the primary when there is a failure. Why can't this be
done and how?

Can I use replicator to do it?
