I'm in Disk Utility. I am trying to mirror the 250gb drive that came with the computer with a 250gb partition I've made of another drive. I am following the directions in the disk utility help page to the T, and there is a weird problem. I can't drag the disks into the list.

first disk info:
raid1.png


second disk info:
raid2.png


When I first loaded up Disk Utility, I couldn't even drag the disks at all. I would click&hold and start moving, and the disks didn't pop into icons and start dragging. I quit the program and loaded it back up, and now they pop into icons, but when I hover them over the list box, nothing happens. It doesn't add them to the list. No amount of quitting and restarting the application fixes it. Restarting the computer did not resolve the issue either.

Here is kind of what it looks like when I drag the disks over, if you pretend the cursor is there as well:

When I release, the disks are not added to the list.

If no one knows how to resolve this issue, does anyone know a way to do this operation from the terminal?
