mirror

[Guest pc]

Hi,

 

I want to create a software mirror using the Disk Management snap-in

but have have encountered the following issue:

 

I have 2 identical 160Gb PATA drives.

 

My C: drive has a partition on it, therefore I seem to be unable to

mirror it using windows Disk Management. When I right click on the

boot volume, add mirror is grayed out

 

I am also unable to extend the boot partition to the second partition

on Disk 0 (C:) as this is a dynamic disk so I cannot extend the boot

partition using Partition Magic.

 

Help!

 

Cheers,
