On a windows 2008 R2, which was on a mirrored software raid, Disk 0 has failed.
After I replaced it with an alternate drive (can not find the same capacity and model) - the server isn't booting. (it's an Intel SE7320VP2)
If I push the bad drive in, I get the following options to boot:
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Windows Server 2008 R2 Secondary Plex
- Theoretically, can the server boot with only 1 of the drives? (the good one that didn't fail)?

. In 2003, you used to have to put a boot floppy in and set boot.ini to boot from the second disk. In 2008 R2, I wouldn't be surprised if you had to fiddle withbcdedit
or at least pressf8
during boot and select the other disk if it is available. – MDMarra Oct 16 '12 at 13:21
