[AccessD] Can you Raid

I done that with NT4 (windows software mirror). Works perfect with
sometimes one exception.

The mirror is not always bootable depending on the type of disk.
A floppy drive boot disk is a workaround at that moment.
 
Ofcourse you need to respect regular OS rules. If your other machine is
other hardware you can get in to trouble...

Software Raid.

I am having issues getting ANY (hardware) bootable raid going.  I am
working with the tech support of the MB manufacturer however I must get
a system up and functioning.  My intent is NOT to raid the boot drive
per se, but rather to create an image of the drive with all software
installed, then move that image to another identical machine.  I would
be using Mirror as a replacement for Norton Ghost or similar software.

Never tried it.  but if you are building this for your VLDB system, keep
in mind that hardware raid is always faster and therefore better than
Software Raid.
