Hello,

I have a 2 disc Raid 1 mirror setup which was OK but now has problems.

When I startup I am offered two options, either:
Windows 7 - when selected just continually boot-loops, trying to repair without success.
Windows 7 Secondary Plex - when selected, Windows starts OK.

When I remove either of the drives, Windows will not start.

Is the original main drive faulty, as I suspect, and which drive is which so I can "unmirror" the healthy one and remove the faulty drive.

Windows management shows both drives

Disk 0 has a "Healthy" System partition but a "Failed Redundancy" C partition.
Disk 1 has no System partition and a "Failed Redundancy" C partition.

I have taken a screen snip but can't show it as I do not have a URL for it.

Any help/advice sincerely appreciated. :)
 
Update:

To further confusticate me, I just took a peek at the Event Viewer which shows the ID11 fault as being with HardDisk2.

Yet Windows Disk Management shows my drives as being Disk 0 and Disk 1 (not Disk 2).

I'm guesstimating it refers to Disk 1 (in Disk Management) but wish I could be sure.

Which also shatters my earlier assumption that it was the first drive which had a fault ("Windows 7" as opposed to "Windows 7 Secondary Plex", at StartUp).

Proper confused, now!! Please help.
