Changing the boot.ini path

[audiopimp]

What to do what to do...Hi, Im using the disk mirroring in win2000 server. (2 X SCSI 40 gb drives) I want to be sure I can boot from the image should something happen to the mirrored drive. Below is my current boot.ini
to my understanding I'd have to boot in dos mode and edit this file. Is that so? if so, how do I do it? What commands in msdos will allow me to modify the boot.ini and what do I change it to?
Thanks

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Server" /fastdetect

First make a copy of the boot.ini file into a floppy (for normal conditions booting)
Make a second copy (for NOT normal conditions) and save it too.
The parameters you must change, depends on where you have the second hard drive (controler), what partition you want to invoque, and what kind of hard drive you are using..
Here you can follow the link, it will tell you about this parameters in more detail.You will be able after that, to know what your BOOT.INI means.

Work on the copy you made in the floppy(for not normal conditions) , and modify the parameters accordingly to your configuration. Once you know its working you are done with the first part.
IN case you run into a booting problem (loading the OS), you can use your mirrow drive, and a new boot.ini file.The only thing you need is boot into Recovery COnsole, and copy the Boot.ini (the one for Not normal conditions)from the floppy, to the same path the other(original) was, but to the mirrored disk this time. I'm pretty sure is just C:ANd god luck, that's about all. A+, MCP, CCNA
