I am trying to establish a mirror set and the fault tolerance menu is greyed out. Anyone have insight as to why? Thanks.<br><br>Bill
 
To establish a mirror, you should<br>1. select an existing partition<br>Keep CTRL-key pressed<br>2. select a drive which contains enough space to be a mirror of the partition, but the space you've selected can not contain existing partitions<br>Now the fault tolerance menu should work<br>
 
One extra thought, make sure the space you select to create the mirror set shows up as free space in disk administrator.&nbsp;&nbsp;You cannot select an existing partition as the second half of your mirror set.&nbsp;&nbsp;And again, make sure it is large enough to create the mirror.
 
Make sure you &quot;Commit Changes Now&quot; after creating your partitions, and before trying to establish your mirror. <p>Al<br><a href=mailto: atc-computing@home.com> atc-computing@home.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
