Switch Secondary Mirror to Primary
My windows 7 PC got to Hard Disks, I've made one of them primary and the second is a secondary and is a mirror of the first. I dont know what happened but now the primary can't get past the starting windows animation nor in the safe mode. The secondary plex works fine and boots faster, So I'm thinking that if the primary refuses to start, what about making my secondary mirror the primary. I've searched for it and found nothing. Please: how to make my secondary plex (Hard Disk 1) primary, and make the Primary (Hard Disk 0) secondary, mirror? By that way the damaged files from hard disk 0 will be replaced by files from Hard Disk 1, so they both work now, then I reverse them again to get back to my default. Any help is appreciated. Sincerely, Windows 7 tm Professional user. I'm using Windows 7 Pro x64 GIGABYTE

Hi, Before going further, I would like to verify if the primary can boot successfully? The Mirror partition has the function to recovery the data from another partition. If you want to switch the secondary mirror to primary, you could delete the primary on Disk 0, it will break the mirror. Then go to Disk 1 and recreate the mirror with Disk 0.
