    In Microsoft's article no. Q293420 it states that you can not Mirror a drive with 2000 Professional. Does anyone know if there is a way around this ?????????

    M$ games....

    OK I did a little digging (read little as underlined, and bold) and it looks like there is no support for mirrored drives in W2KPro - so there are two options:

    Install 2K server and use it as a workstation:

    or

    Get a hardware RAID solution that works on a Board/BIOS level so you have pairs of drives seen as single drives.
    Note: This could not be applied to the drive with the boot volume on it. - so your looking at 3 Hdd's min.
