can five physical disks be mirrored onto a single high capacity disk with five partitions in a winnt environment.
NOTE:- each parition is of the same size as each physical disk.

Assuming that you need some fault tolerance, you would need to set up a RAID. Mirroring only works with 2 drives. If you build a RAID you will lose capacity equal to 1 drive, therefore, if you have 5 drives, only 4 drives of space will be realized. You can then partition that space however you want.
You can also span the space of all the drives which offers NO FAULT TOLERANCE AND IS NOT RECOMMMENDED. That space can also be partitioned however you want..
Hope this helps.
