i created a mirrored volume then reinstalled windows 10 and now when i go to disk manager it only shows disk 3 (not two seperate volumes i might add) at 2tb and i have two WD blue 1 tb hard drives i need to other drive for another system but now neither of them will work without the other one. i already tried disk part, formating the drives wiping the drive all of that several times over. in the bios it can distinguish the seperate drives so im really not sure what the problem is. any idea would really help

If you have two 1TB drive and disk manager shows it as a 2TB drive, you did not mirror them, which would be RAID 1, you must have setup RAID 0 or JBOD setup to use both as one volume. You would undo what you did in the same place that you setup the RAID setup, either in software in Windows or in the RAID BIOS when the system boots if you have RAID on the motherboard and used that. If you used diskpart and did a clean command on the drives, it should have wiped it fully and you can remove it and use it in another system. You did not really say why it won't work, what happens when you try to create a new partition on it in the second computer?
