you must get them in the same state, meaning either erase 
the data on both (using the Erase Mode on the Disk Jockey) 
or if you would like to mirror a drive that already has data 
on the drive, copy the data to the second drive using the 
Copy Mode, compare that the data on both drives are exact 
by using the Compare Mode and then switch to the Mirror 
mode to continue working with the Mirror. 
There are a few important details to be aware of when 
working in Mode 1, or Mirror Mode:
1.  Both hard disk drives need to be Ultra DMA 
compatible.
2.  If you connect different capacity hard disk drives 
you can use Mirror Mode, however you’re only 
playing to the lowest common denominator. For 
example, if you mirror a 40 GB drive with a 60 GB 
drive you will only see a 40 GB volume mounted 
on your computer, the remaining 20 GB in this 
scenario will not be usable.
3.  If one of the hard disk drives fails it will not 
automatically restore it. If one hard disk drive fails 
simply go back to the Standard Mode (Mode 0) and 
use it as a single hard disk drive or make a copy of 
the data to a new hard disk drive using Copy Mode, 
compare the data on the disks using the Compare 
Mode and then resume your Mirror in Mirror Mode. 
If a disk fails during operation you will be alerted to the 
failure by the following audible alarms:
