Hi,I recently added extra SCSI drive to my server. Now, I have two scsi drive and with raid controller. My question is can I do raid1 if drive C:\ already have windows installed? The second scsi disk is detected in disk admintrator. I try to see if there a mirror option but not. So do this mean I can't mirror C:\ and D:\ ? I remember back than I use to mirror other servers but is on different drive like D:\ and E:\. Can someone give me an advice on this? Thank

You have a hardware raid controller !!! Don't even consider for a second software mirroring in the OS.

go into the raid controllers bios
identify the drive housing the OS
mirror it to the 2nd drive

Windows Disk Management will only see the mirror set as one drive.

Imagine the power if you knew how to internet search
