> Is there anyway I can mirror my drives?

Howdy-
  While I personally think Michael's suggestion is better than the one
  I'm about to make (I do something similar, except I put my DOS
  partition _after_ my NTFS and ext2 partitions to keep the drive
  letters a little more straightforward), I can suggest another route:

  W2k offers software RAID. You may be able to create at least a data
  partition that is mirrored to the other drive. This doesn't provide
  a 100% backup (and it is more resource intensive, see the warning in
  the help files about placing your page file there), but it does
  directly answer your question.

   Peace,
      dNb

P.S. No warranty stated or implied--I've never attempted to use W2k's
RAID functionality myself.
