mirror

Hi,

I want to create a software mirror using the Disk Management snap-in
but have have encountered the following issue:

I have 2 identical 160Gb PATA drives.

My C: drive has a partition on it, therefore I seem to be unable to
mirror it using windows Disk Management. When I right click on the
boot volume, add mirror is grayed out

I am also unable to extend the boot partition to the second partition
on Disk 0 (C as this is a dynamic disk so I cannot extend the boot
partition using Partition Magic.

Help!

Cheers,
