Question : Problem: Windows Raid 1

Could someone explain to me why I can't create anything but a Simple Dynamic Partition?

I have 2 SCSI Hard Disks running on seperate channels.  Motherboard is TYAN K8S Pro with built on SCSI but no RAID, I didn't realize I needed a seperate ZCR card.

Both disks are dynamic as far as disk management is concerned.  C Drive is a Simple Dynamic Partition that I'm trying to mirror to the second drive.  Should be simple right?

When I create a new volume out of the second drive, my only option is to create a Simple partition.  I've tried all the steps and I'm getting nowhere.

Any help would be apprediated.

The second disk must be equal to or creater than the size of the disk you want to make a mirror of.  Then make sure it's dynamic, but do NOT attempt to create a partition on it.  Right click on the C: drive and select "Mirror" or "Create Mirror" (I don't recall the exact wording).
