Creating a Second Logical Volume

There are three drives left unassigned and we will use two of them to create a 2 drive RAID 1 set. This will become the second logical drive. To do this we take the View and Edit Logical Drives option again from the Main Menu and highlight logical drive one position. As with creating the first logical volume pressing ewill bring up a dialogue box asking to Create logical Drive, answering YES to this prompt brings up a screen similar to that in Figure 4-20.
