Ok solution is that you need to manually create the virtual drive in powershell after making the pool:
1) Create a storage pool in the GUI but hit cancel when it asks to create a storage space
2) Rename the pool to something to identify this raid set.
3) Run the following command in PowerShell (run with admin power) editing as needed:
New-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName VirtualDriveName -StoragePoolFriendlyName NameOfPoolToUse -NumberOfColumns 2 -ResiliencySettingName simple -UseMaximumSize
