Windows 10: Error using storage spaces/mirror

I upgraded from W8.1 to W10.
After the upgrade my mirrored volume was 'gone' (created with disk management). Fortunately I was able to restore the data on one of the disks.

I cannot manage to recreate a mirror on Windows 10.
I tried using disk management as well as Storage Spaces but I get errors when the formatting begins.

Even with new disks, all the same it does not seem to work. I can not figure out why...

I get: Cannot remove Storage Space (huh.. remove?? I am creating one!!).... Parameter is wrong: 0x00000057.

Could there be some history of the previous mirrored drive which is preventing me from creating a new one or should I just do a clean Windows 10 installation?

Reset PC, remove all from only the Windows drive & Storage Sense

Hi Mike, thanks for the reply. I'm not so interested in whether of the drives will be deleted or not, I'm interested in knowing if windows will recognize them after being freshly installed.

Storage spaces create a two-way mirror using the two drives, and then Windows storage spaces recognizes them as a single Drive. after formatting their petition that has Windows on it I'm interested in knowing if the new installation of windows will see the
two-way mirror as a single storage space. If the new installation doesn't recognize the storage space it will see two separate drives with the same data. this will effectively render the storage space useless since I'll have to rebuild it.

 

Resilient File System

Its available in all editions of WIndows as part of the feature called Storage spaces.

Try doing it with Macrium Reflect instead of the default mirroring, provides better backup and compresses more

 

I am not interested in cloning or backup. I just want my disks in RAID
