Replacement of SDA\u2026 For this particular ‘use case’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your system is still bootable to local \/ normal system\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Connect over RDP.
    \n(If for some reason a window pops up for you to initialize the disk select MBR for windows)<\/li>
  2. Right click on windows task icon in windows task bar.<\/li>
  3. Select “Disk Managment” from the menu.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    1. Right click on C, and then select add mirror. Select the drive. Wait for C to sync, and complete.<\/li>
    2. Right click on D, and then select add mirror. Select the drive. Wait for D to sync, and complete. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      (When doing this in normal system you will notice performance degredation due to the RAID syncing. This is normal. Be patient, and let it finish.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      *** Issues\u2026 Sometimes the “add mirror” option does not show up, or is greyed out for D. Use diskpart to get it done. I have also include C as well in case above for C isn’t an option either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For C:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      diskpart<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      list disk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      (in this particular case the disks were listed as 0 and 1.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      select disk 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If the first hard disk<\/strong> (disk 0) has been replaced, you must rewrite the Windows bootloader. To do this, end the disk part by entering exit<\/strong> and then execute the following commands on the command line:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
