I'm trying to use Storage Spaces to mirror my C drive with a new identical hard drive I installed and labeled J drive. When I go to set up Storage Spaces, I get this note, "no drives that work with Storage Spaces are available". My J drive shows up under Disk Management, as a new volume, dynamic, and healthy.
I'm working with a newer Dell with Windows 8.1. What am I missing? Thx, Craig S.
 
Solution
Don't use Storage Spaces for that. Use something like CloneZilla or DriveImageXML to create an image. Save that image elsewhere.
