Dynamic disk creates two identical volumes

[Mike]

I created a dynamic disk on the second HDD in my PC. I created four separate
volumes. When creating the volumes, selecting D: for a volume letter wasn't
an option. So I ended up with E:, F:, G: and H:.

Now the first volume (E is duplicated by the D: volume. I can access D:
and E: and the contents are the same. Also, when booting up, each time
Windows needs to "Check your disks for consistency" and runs CHKDSK on those
two volumes, never finding a problem. I'm assuming it's confused by the two
drive letters?

How do I fix that?

Thanks.

No, they're simple volumes on a dynamic disk set up by Windows XP.
