Hi,

I'm trying to mirror a 150GB basic disk onto a 250GB dynamic disk (space on the dynamic disk is unallocated).

When I right-click on the basic disk, the Add Mirror command isn't listed in the context menu.

I'm using XP Pro.

Can anyone advise? Any and all help much appreciated.

Thanks

Ok, understand now what I'm doing wrong. You can only use an XP Pro system to remotely create a mirror on a server.

Anyone know of of any good free utilites that let you create a mirror on an XP Pro system?

Cheers

kwinsw,

The hard drive manufacturer usually has free imaging tools on their websites, if this is what you seek. If you are looking into creating a mirrored RAID 1 array you should use a hardware solution like a 3Ware or Adaptec card.
