Im trying to mirror a new hardrive for my laptop but there is no add mirror volume option. It's not greyed out, it's completely missing. Has anyone figured out a solution to this?

Unable to create simple volume on new 1TB hard drive


Just got a brand new HP computer with windows 10 Pro (64bit) preinstalled on an SSD. I am now adding a 1TB sata hard drive for storing data files. New HDD is installed as Disk 1 and is seen by Windows 10. I initialized it as an MBR basic disc. When I try to go to the next step of creating a volume, I right click on disk 1 and there is no option available to create a new simple volume. There are other volume options (mirror, raid, etc) but they are all greyed out. Simple is not even listed as an option. I went to DISKPART and using clean command, took it back to the start, then initialized it as a GBT. That didn't make a difference. Now I'm back to MBR again. I also did a List Volume command under DISKPART and confirmed there is no volume on this drive. I'm stuck. How can I get this drive to the point where I can format it and use it?
Thanks!

 

Disk mirror failed redundancy: Remove mirror or reactivate volume?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



The cause for Failed Redundancy would be that half, but not both halves, of a mirrored volume was imported. In Disk Management, the imported half of the mirrored volume receives Failed Redundancy status, while the disk that holds the
half of the mirror that was not imported receives Missing status. You can import the Missing disk at a later time to restore redundancy.



The solution for Failed Redundancy is to move all disks that span this volume to the new computer at the same time, and then import all of the disks together.



The complete solution is giving in the section A mirrored volume's status is Data Not Redundant from
Troubleshooting Disk Management.



You may also refer the section A dynamic disk's status is Offline or Missing from the above article and try the troubleshooting steps.



If you are still facing any issues related to Mirroring, then I suggest you to post your query in

Mirrored volume option in Windows 10

Does Windows 10 Home have mirroring option for volumes or must I upgrade to Pro to get that?
