Drives suddenly missing

[Hubinator]

Suddenly today all of my drives went missing from Drivepool, Scanner showed them as fine and windows disk manager sees them. I reset all setttings in Drivepool and it now sees the drives but not any kind of pool. When I try and add them to a pool it says "Cannot add the same disk to the pool twice"

So I installed BETA version 2.2.0.866 after finding another post on here with a similar issue. Installing this version everything came back and it appears to be working fine as of right now.

Scratch that, I waited for it to scan the pool and turn green, everything looked good. But now after a reboot the pool and drives are missing again.

If this is the issue I think it is (and it sounds like it), try uninstalling and reinstalling StableBit DrivePool.

So I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it fixes it. But I have discovered what is triggering it to break. I am trying to install my Video Card Drivers (AMD Radeon) during the process it uninstalls the old driver and reboots, and when that reboot happens Drivepool stops working. If I don't mess with the video card drivers I can reboot all I want and it works fine, so I'm not sure how drivepool and the video card drivers are related but they are.

Playing a little more, I had my Documents, pictures and Music, redirected to my DrivePool, when updated the video card drivers it would reboot and the drivepool would stop working and the video card drive update failed. I changed the location of these back to the defaults temporarily and was then able to update the video card drives and then uninstalled and reinstalled DrivePool and everything is working for the time being.

That's .... really, really odd.   To be blunt, that really shouldn't ... affect things like that.
