On WIN2K server I have two Hard drives and they are
mirrored under Dynamic Disk Partion. the Primary HD has
some problems. I want to boot from mirrored drive. On boot
up system indicates booting from drive C: but nothing
happens. Do I have to edit Boot.ini file if so how do I do
that or how do I boot from mirrored drive.
Thanks for all your help.

Take a look at this article

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;167045

It will also point to another article that gives instructions for making
a Windows boot floppy. The boot floppy will get around most of the
problems that you can experience booting from the shadow drive.
