!nkubus....

 

I think you want RAID 1 (not 5)

 

However, once you choose its in diskdrake.

You create 2 identical sized partitions with no file system then make them say md1 and md2 then create md0 as the mirror of md1 and md2 .. then the filesystem goes on md0...

 

It sound complex to descibe but its really not.... this osrt of thing is often ewasier to see if you draw it.
