Hi Bernie,

Thanks for you reply.

As my suggestion, I think you should first boot with the old mirror, then
copy the content to the new mirror, using 3rd tools. I am
not sure the detailed steps, it depends on the tools you use. Make sure you
should boot from the old one and make mirror to the new arrary, please do
not boot from one old disk with one blank disk.

Then you can change the boot.ini in the new drivers. (You can see the
detailed steps from the KB)
Then boot from the new one.
I appreciate your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Charles Yang (MFST)
