7B Stop Error Attempting to Boot Disk1 of Software Mirrored Pair

I have to replace Disk 0 of a software mirrored pair as it has a bad block.
The mirror is up showing Healthy (At Risk). Disk 0 is "Online (Error)". Disk
1 is "Online". There are volumes C: and D: in the mirror. Volume C: will not
reactivate past 7%. Server still boots without problem from Disk 0.

My problem is that if I attempt to boot using Disk1, it starts off
promisingly enough showing the Windows Server 2003 startup screen, but then
stops with a 7B stop error: "A problem has been detected and windows has been
shut down to prevent damage to your computer" etc. etc...
STOP: 0x0000007B (0x89A97268, 0xC0000010, 0x0, 0x0)

I have tried booting via "Boot Mirror C: - secondary plex", and tried using
a fault tolerant boot floppy, with the same result. Drive 1 won't boot at all
if placed in the Drive 0 slot - just stops on a blank screen.

Drives are identical 500G sata drives in an HP Proliant ML310G2 box using
the onboard SATA controller.

Any ideas how I might get past the 7B error? Or is there another way I can
attack it without a reinstall and resorting to backups?

Thanks,
Greg

I would try this:
- Disconnect the second half of the mirror.
- Connect a spare disk.
- Format partition & format the spare disk.
- Boot the machine with a Bart PE CD.
- Use xcopy.exe or robocopy.exe to copy
the flawed disk to the spare disk, complete with
hidden files, system files, attributes & ACLs.
- Boot the machine with the spare disk only.
- Re-establish the mirror.

In future you need to apply the same philosophy to
your mirror arrangement as to your backup arrangement:
Unless you fully test it while things are going fine, you must
consider it as inoperative.

Hello,

you may use dskprobe (Resource kit stuff):
From the CHM:
DiskProbe can search a range of sectors or a complete volume for text
strings. The Search for Data dialog allows the user to configure the search
with options for search type and string type.

This solution worked well - thank you. In case others need the info I used
the following robocopy commands:
robocopy c: e: /E /COPYALL /CREATE
robocopy c: e: /E /COPYALL
- where c: is the original boot drive and e: is the new drive

After the copy, in BartPE I had to edit the registry of the new drive
offline to set the boot partition of the new disk to drive C:

and: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/223188
I could not log in until I corrected the drive letter problem.
