Thanks for the help.. I did what you suggested and ran Spinrite on the drives. Primary Drive (top) ran without issue. I couldn't even get it to run on the second (bottom)drive. Went out and bought a 3rd drive (western digital again). Same thing, spinrite wouldn't run against it. Decided to try the mirror anyway (don't know why i thought it would work), but failed at 72% again. 3 western digital drives bought from 3 different Best Buy stores and 2 were no good. Returned the drives (btw they were WD Caviar SE WD5000AAJB drives). Went online and ordered 2 Maxtor 500Gb drives (Maxtor 500GB EIDE STM305004N1AAA-RK). Ran the same process as i explained in the first post... Ran the Mirror without any problems...
Once again, thanks for your help...
And to anyone else out there, stay away from Western Digital!!
