I'm attempting to create a mirrored boot volume on a Windows 2003 Server by
using the "Create and test a mirrored system or boot volume" documentation
(See:
http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/f/?en/Library/28af1c0d-8490-4ab0-8be0-49e5923c4bae1033.mspx )
..

After completing step 7 and clicking on Add Mirror I get the following
message: Logical Disk Manager could not update the boot file for any boot
partitions on the target disk. Verify your arcpath listings in file
boot.ini or through the bootcfg.exe utility.

I'm not certain what should be in the arcpath listing, but here is what's in
my boot.ini file.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows Server 2003, Standard"
/fastdetect /NoExecute=OptOut

What, if anything should I do to address the error message?

Hi Enrique,

The LDM will only make very basic changes to boot.ini. It is not intended
as a complete replacement for an admin modifying boot.ini manually or with
bootcfg.Removing write permissions will prevent boot.ini from being
modified.

Please refer to :
Windows server 2003 Mirror:

Hope it helps.
