I DO now remember about your supercomputer. It sounds like you suffered from
a case of "Murphy's Law."
Regarding your question about automatic mirroring of two drives, well that
sounds like RAID 1. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID for an explanation
in English. I am sure there are similar articles in their other language
versions. It seems like that is just what you are asking for and I am sure
your computer and Win 7 support it.
