Snap :-) Thats exactly what I have done - but the bits you cant mirror are the GPT partititons for bootcode. I was fiddling with hose of da0 without realising it was now using da1 to boot. If it ever chooses da2 or da3 then I will need to mirror it there too, so I have it partitioned like that, but am currently using those as swap as it shows no signs of wanting to boot from them for now. > I have WinXP guest in VirtualBox exactly for this situation.

Maybe thats just the best solution to this after all. cheers, -pete.
