That's the way I did it. Unfortunately, I still received the
problem. I suppose that the second drive could be bad. I just
thought I'd pursue other ideas before I concluded a bad drive.

4.0 server. The hard drive that is going to be the mirror must not
be formatted or partitioned at all, it must be totally blank (as in

Leave the second drive as empty space. Select the primary drive and
the
empty space and then establish the mirror. Windows will set up the
second
partition for you.
