Windows mirroring

[domenico]

Hi,

I need to make a mirror of system disk0 to disk1 on windows 2000 server.

The disks capacity its the same, I followed the technotes in microsoft converting to dynamic disk disk0 and disk1. After reboot, in the disk manager, I

right-click disk 0, which contains the boot and system files but Add Mirror choice is disabled. Why?

You're second disk must contain no data and no partitions. Perhaps the following link will help.

1. In the Disk Management window, right-click unallocated space on one of the dynamic disks in which you want to create the mirrored volume, and then click New Volume.

2. In the New Volume Wizard, click Next.

3. Click Mirrored volume, and then click Next.

4. Under All available dynamic disks, click the disk in which you want to host the mirror, and then click Add. Verify that the disks in which you want to create a mirrored volume are listed in the Selected dynamic disks box.

5. In the Size box, specify the amount of unallocated disk space to use for the volume, and then click Next.

6. Assign a drive letter or path, and then click Next.

7. Specify the formatting options that you want to use, and then click Next.

8. Confirm that the options that you selected are correct, and then click Finish. The mirrored volume is created and appears in the appropriate dynamic disks in the Disk Management window.

9. Quit Disk Management on the remote computer.

Yes, ofcourse the disk1 has no data and no partition, it is'nt allocated, I added the new disk, signed it and transformed in dynamic disk than stop.
