From: Ellen K. 

?   Aren't mirroring and RAID two different things?   I thought RAID
stripes the data on different disks so if one fails the system can figure
out what got lost, and mirroring is just what it sounds like...

So a mirroring question, does the mirror read from the bad drive or does
everything write originally to both?

Finally, if the problem is on the part of the C drive that has the O/S
and/or program files, what is the result with RAID and with mirroring?
