Actually that is exactly what is going on. I contacted IBM and this server
has a hardware RAID controller. I am working with them to gather a log file
and make sure there are no hardware problems before I upgrade the server. I
imagine I will have to break this mirror(using their softaware for the RAID
controller) then wipe both drives then load the win2003 and add the mirror
back in?
Thank you for your time
