Mirror Volume

[Same]

Hey Friends!

I need your help to make a mirror volume. I have
installed Windows 2000 server on my PC. And having 2 IDE
drives 20 GB each.
Whenever I go to make the mirror volume I cannot I can
create only simple volume but other volume I cannot. Only
simple volume I can select other are in gray color its
mean I cannot use them, The file system I am using on the
first driver that is NTFS, First I thought that maybe I
need the 2 partitions on the first driver I did create
but useless. Is there any friend to help me out?

Thanks in advance

Upgrade both disk to Dynamic disk

Upgrade to Dynamic Disks
Raid systems require Dynamic disks under Windows 2000. Any disks that you
are upgrading must contain at least 1 megabyte (MB) of free space at the
end of the disk for the upgrade to succeed. Disk Management automatically
reserves this free space when creating partitions or volumes on a disk, but
disks with partitions or volumes that are created by other operating
systems may not have this free space available.

NOTE: You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the
Administrators group to complete this procedure. If your computer is
connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from
completing this procedure.

To upgrade a basic disk to a dynamic disk:
Before you upgrade disks, close any programs that are running on those
disks.
Right-click the gray disk description panel, and then click Upgrade to
Dynamic Disk.
If the second disk in not a dynamic disk, follow these steps to upgrade it
to a dynamic disk
