Hi
Got another problem I hope you can help me with.

Had a problem with a raid setup ( mirror). This is now sorted but when I boot I get the choice of two windows options . The first boots normally, the second just gives a message that files are missing and reboots. I just want it to boot normally. Can you help?? :confused:

Thanks

open C:\boot.ini (it's hidden) and remove the bad one

to be on the safe side if you are unsure do it via system properties > advanced > startup & recovery settings
