As mentioned it is working fine on the sister server that is IDENTICLE in
hardware, firmware and software.
I carried out the same steps when doing both servers.
After I mirrored the servers all seemed fine and both mirrors on both drives
appeared sucessful.
After reboot the size of the system partition on disk1 had increased from
1024Mb to 1028Mb and the data partition on disk1 had changed to unformatted
partition.
No errors were listed in the event viewer.
Yet the other server has been working fine.
