Hi, good morning, on Brazil time.
I have a Server 2008 R2 Foundation installed under HP Proliant ML110 G6 and until last Friday the scenario of disk management was this:
Disk 0: BKP of SISREV (our ERP);
Disk 1: 465Gb Dynamic | Mirrored with disk 2 (but both disks had no data, their emprty)
Disk 2: 465Gb Dynamic | Mirrored with disk 1
Disk 3: 250Gb for 100Mb System reserved | C: with 135,13 Gb | M: 97,65 Gb for data share - Dynamic disk.
Just to mention I've inherit this scenario from earlier support team.
And then I realize that Disk 3 have S.M.A.R.T. alert and people, a while ago, claiming slowness using folder shares and etc...
Then my first reaction was: "let's clone this disk while it's still booting".
I then used Macrium Reflect to copy dynamic volumes from disk 3 into disk 2.
The process did not finished properly. Without knowing I've broke the mirrored disks (that still empty), and ran into a big mess.
Reflect change the partitions ID, I've terminated with HDD showing up error 0xc000000e that boot device was inacessible.
After many work around with diskpart, bootbcd and others and a little web search I've restored the access and boot to the default system disk 3 (250Gb).
Well, for now my question is: I still have S.M.A.R.T. alerts on this HDD and this server holds information about a company since 2009. I wouldn't like to loose this.
Is there a way to clone this actual disk into another one of 465Gb WITHOUT LOSING OR CRAPPING THE EXISTING DATA, TABLE INFORMATION AND ON AND ON...???
A help would be appreciated.
