he hardware is Sun Ultra 40M2, running Windows 7 64-bit Pro.
It has 2 300GB SAS hard drives, in a mirroring configuration. Let's call them disk0 and disk1. I would mirror the data about once a week using Malcrium software. Anytime I could swap disks and the mirror would become the primary boot disk. I thought about setting up RAID 1 but never did.

that was all fine for several years until I decided to install VeraCrypt and encrypt the entire primary (boot) HDD. It needed the password to even get into bootloader. Let's call it disk0.

Then I ran Malcrium Reflect to image disk0 to the secondary HDD, disk1.
It ran seemingly fine but when I tested it, the clone (disk1) would not boot. Something about MBR missing. The encryption screwed up the MBR on disk1. I thought Macrium was an exact bit by bit copy, apparently not.
At that point, disk0 was OK, disk1 was not.

I put the cloned image disk1 back in the secondary position (second tray from the top) where it usually stayed.

Then I decided to encrypt that disk1 second hard drive via a container in VeraCrypt. I used the entire drive as one of the alphabet letters. That was fine too.

This is where things have began to go wrong with this next event.
