raids

You need to make the mount point be something other then / for 1 of the
drives, you can't put 2 partitions on the same mount point, like that
message box says.

Also, from the subject of your message, and based on what you told us
in your first post, you're setting up a raid. I don't know if it's
software or hardware, and I also haven't used software raid since the
2.4.x kernels. So, I stand to be corrected, but if you're setting up
software raid under gnu/linux, partitioning the drives individually,
with separate file systems,  is
not the way to do it, unless things have drastically change since I
did it, which I doubt is the case. You should be able to find the
software raid howto on tldp.org, and I suggest that you read that, if
you're in fact setting up software raid.
