I have an enclosure with 4x8TB drives in it. I formatted them all to NTFS.
I added a drive to a pool and it got stuck at 95%. I had to abort.
There was a 2TB drive created in Disk Management that says that it's RAW. This drive won't mount in Windows Explorer. It lists an error if you try to access it.
I tried this all over again to see if the behavior was consistent. Everything happened exactly the same including another drive being created that I can see in Disk Management that is 2TB RAW.
At this point, I'm unable to add any drives to a pool, and I have two ghost drives (E: and F:) that are RAW that I can't format or delete.
Where to go from here?
EDIT: Ok, so I went ahead and reset Drivepool, and then tried to add a drive to a pool again. This time it "finished." But it still created a RAW partition that I can't access and no pool seems to have been created. But when I try to add that same disk to a pool again it says "can't add the same disk to a pool twice."

Any idea what I could be doing wrong here?
