Re: Can you mirror a known bad drive?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



No - Be sure you have at least 2 Verified total SBS Backups!!! Then try
imaging the Drive. I like Paragon software http://www.paragon-gmbh.com/ but
Ghost may work but typically it will fail on bad blocks. Alternately Install
CD1 and Windows SP1 (If the Backup was made from SBS SP1) and then restore
the total backup to the new drive. Format the new drive with the same or
larger Partitions as the old one.

Hello all,

Due to circumstances I'm required to mirror a drive with some bad blocks.
Windows will not let me mirror that drive because it see the errors. Can I
force the disk managment console to mirror that disk to a healthy one?

Can it be done from the command line?
