Re: Create Virtual Block RAID & Autodetect

So, my guess at this point is that it was originally a RAID 5 and it was later improperly formatted as a RAID 1 or using only 2 of the disks.

Re: Create Virtual Block RAID & Autodetect

It was an attempt to force them into a block, but I had no control over the RAID settings like I do with the other drives.

Re: Create Virtual Block RAID & Autodetect

Thank you for the help. Here is a screen capture of me showing how the process works with any drive other than the imaged drives. You can see that the interface just disappears and is no longer accessible.

Re: Create Virtual Block RAID & Autodetect

I would like to see this too. I can load physical drives, but the images I made don't seem to load properly. If I try to drag them or add them from the autodetect raid block interface, the whole interface disappears. If I test it with other drives, including jump drives, they add just fine.

Re: Create Virtual Block RAID & Autodetect

I am thinking so, but not 100% sure. How do I get those options? I don't have any RAID type configuration options at all. I am using an older version of R-Studio 8.5.170237

Create Virtual Block RAID & Autodetect

I am attempting to find some backed-up data and have four drives that were in a cheap "dumb" RAID tower. By "dumb" I mean it doesn't have its own RAID controller, and Windows sets up the RAID configuration.

To begin, I'm not sure that it was ever properly setup as a RAID, all the disks read, but ...
