I have a client with a SBS2003 server. The primary SATA drive has
crashed.
I have replaced the drive and reinstalled the OS and it is working fine.
However, there is some data on the second (data) partition of the crashed
drive that they would like to recover. If I attach the failed drive as
the
Port2 SATA drive the computer tries (and fails) to boot to the failed
drive,
rather than the good Port1 drive. I have a licensed copy of GetDataBack
NTFS
which I have used many times to recover data, but it requires that I get
the
computer to at least boot with the failed drive attached. If I can get
the
system to boot with the failed drive as a secondary drive, then I run at
least a chance of recovery. Can anyone help me understand why the system
insists on booting to the Port2 drive, and can you suggest a way to force
it
to boot to the other drive instead? Thanks so much for any ideas.
