Im looking to mirror a disk in Server 2008, ive set it up to mirror using the Computer management screen and it all seems alright.
Ive tried pulling out the drive with the OS on and it obviously blue screens and you have to select to boot the mirrored operating system once restarted.
The problem is I want the drive to automatically recover from the other drive when it goes down, without having to restart/interrupt the network.

Is this possible/How can I do it?

Not using software RAID i dont think, but its possible using hardware RAID on most server systems.

Any ideas how I would go about this?

do you have hardware mirroring capability?

How would I find this out? what hardware would i need? As far as I know, I have standard Raid hard-drives.
