I am trying to Mirror two drives in Windows 2000 Server. First I upgraded both drives from basic to dynamic successfully. Next when I try to mirror the drives, the option to mirror two drives is "grayed" out and not available. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I am logged in as the administrator. The drive I'm trying to mirror to is the same size as the main drive. I even tried creating a simple volume first on the second drive since it was completely unallocated and then tried to mirror but the option to mirror is still grayed out. They are both IDE drives (Western digatals) on the same controller set up as master and slave. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
silly silly question... but have you rebooted the server since??

i have setup a mirror once, and it went fine...
bizarre.
If you find out, let us know...
good luck
