  1. Thank you friend! That was indeed the problem. I had no idea my HDD dock had a 4 TB capacity limit. Connecting the 5 TB disk directly to a spare SATA in the PC did allow me to read it and it is merrily copying away as we speak! Thanks again!
  2. My WHS2011 server finally died (boot drive) and I decided it was time for a dedicated NAS., I am moving to a QNAP 4 drive system. Anyway, after the death of the WHS boot drive I pulled out my 5 x 2 TB drives and 2 x 5 TB WD RED drives. I backed up the 2 TB drives and had no problems reading the "pool part" folders and grabbing the ServerFolder content and backing it up. The recovery was performed on a Win 10 64 bit machine linked to an external Vantec USB3 hard drive dock which I slotted the 2TB drives in one by one. Data was then stored on a couple of large external LaCie drives. When I tried to do this for the 5 TB drives I got an error (Location is not available) message indicating I couldn't access the drive although it shows up in the list of drives under "My PC" Initially I checked (and changed) the share permissions to Everyone/ALL. No joy. Checking the Drive Manager, the drive partition was listed as RAW. I downloaded a product called EASUS (trial) and it found the missing folders/files...but I don't want to pay $70 to recover the files if I don't have to. One of the things that attracted me to DrivePool was that if I pulled a drive I could just access the files contained on the drive directly. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone suggest a solution?
