Our NT4 Server had 1 partition on a hardware mirrored pair of disks (drive C), using half of the available space.

I created a second partition (D drive) using the remaining space and rebooted.

On boot up I got the message ‘Kernel file missing from the disk’

I tried the emergency repair disk – it made no difference.

I created an NT boot disk and got the system up. I then found that the files on the C drive had all moved to the D drive, except the pagefile and the boot.ini file.

As a consequence, nothing runs properly.

Has anyone any ideas why this has happened, and what I can do to correct it?
 
Probbably during creating a new driver d: you made it ACTIVE and automatically moved all systems files to this drive
 
Yes, that was it!

Thank you.
