I needed to delete a RAID mirror setup and remove one of the hard drives.
The machine is win2k worksta, sp4 with an Epox 8kTA3+ mobo and Highpoint HPT370 raid controller. I deleted the mirror setup in the controller BIOS and I thought, since the drives are mirrored, that the same files would be on both disks. I then removed the hard drive that was on the secondary master port. The machine then booted but would not recognize passwords. I reinstalled the hard drive and it booted OK, but now Win installed the drive as G: and DiskManager shows this G: drive as "system" and apparently the boot drive, because the drive letter can't be changed. Is there any way to transfer the system and boot files to the current C: drive, so that I can remove the G: drive?? Thanks Bill |

Try to reinitialize the disks: delete everything from
HKLM\System\MountedDevices and reboot or edit its content first. |
