        What you have to do is rerun setup, then have it "Inspect Boot Sector." At
this point it will repair your "broken mirror" drive.

        As for the out of VM error, increase your paging files and then defrag
them (for performance). Also, you can spread your pagefile around all your
hard drives for better performance. Since you have 500 megabytes of RAM,
your paging file total should be about 600 megabytes or so. And be sure to
set the minimum and maximum pagefile size to the same size, so it (they)
will not become fragmented.

        Check out PAGEDFRG, a freeware pagefile defragger from Dr. Mark
Russinovich, at:

        Hope this helps!
