Asked By Cyrille Collins 0 points N/A Posted on - 12/19/2011

Hi everyone,

I wanted to mount my mirror on my new system. Please help me how to do it. Here is some information I need to share with you so that you could help me do it. The Disk A has an OS failed.

It requires a replacement and reinstallation of Windows Server 2003 R2. The disks B and C are mirrored on the field machine. What I wanted to do is mount my mirrored disks B and C on my new system. How do I do that?

To mount the mirrors to a new system, you will need to first prepare the installation media as follows:

• You will need to download the medium you want to use from the favorite mirror of your choice.
• You will need to download the following: iso/<release>/sha1sums.txt.
• You will need to make sure that the integrity of the .iso image by the use of sha1sum as follows:
• sha1sum –check sha1sums.txt.
• archlinux-XXX.iso: OK.
• After that, you will need to burn the ISO image to a CD-R or CD-RW or you can burn it to a USB mass storage device, for instance a thumb drive by the use of dd or similar raw-write software as follows:
• dd if=archlinux-XXX.iso of=/dev/sdX.

You should be sure that you are using /dev/sdX and not /dev/sdX1, which is a command that will irrevocably delete all files on your USB stick, and therefore you will need to make sure that the USN device has no important files first.
