Mirror volume set

Hi
I have 2 SCSI HD, partitioned as C D E NTFS mirrored.
I have broken the mirror and deleted the E partition and made a volume set with D.
Is it possible to mirror the volume set as I can't seem to get that option in disk adminitrator.

this can only be done with raid hardware not software. This is called 0+1 raid.
BAd bad bad idea to do a volume set for OS/important unbackedup data. You are one drive hiccup away from distruction. I have seen scandisk/chkdsk "fix" a volume set off to never never land.

Sorry but no. It's a one way trip. Backup and reinstall if this is also the OS drive.
Or put another drive/cdrw and save your data that way.
