Background: My WHS2011 had a drive going bad (I run both DrivePool and Scanner). I removed duplication until I had enough room to follow the "remove" drive instructions. I think I completed the instructions successfully. I replaced the drive with a new drive of the same size, added it to the pool, then reinstated selective folder duplication as I wished. The WHS server seems fine. I installed the suspect drive onto my Win7 system (which also has DrivePool on it). WD diagnostic software confirmed a failing drive. I RMA'd it off after writing zero's to it. Symptom 1: On the Win 7 PC: Every time I restart the Win7 PC I get a missing drive warning like this: * WDC WD30EFRX-68AX9N0 (S/N: WD-whatever) 28C - 0B (Pool: ?) Every time it reboots. When I open the DrivePool app this drive does not show up. I don't want to turn off real email warnings but I don't see how to get rid of this phantom warning. Symptom 2: On the WHS2011 server the failing drive warnings never cleared out. I still have two like this * WHS11 1/17/2015 Sector unreadable on disk * WHS11 1/18/2015 A disk is suspect I have the warnings set to be ignored, but any advice on how to get rid of them?

I am running Stable Bit Drive Pool on a Windows 8.1 machine. I have one pool with two disks. I have been having issues with my installation reporting "missing disks". This can happen to either of the two physical disks. to resolve the issue, I have to either reboot the machine, or reseat the disk in the enclosure. My questions are, is this is a known issue? If so is there are fix? How can I track down the cause? Any help would be appreciated!
