Incorrect Partion type infomartion (Disk Details) vs OS Device Manager

[Beaker1024]

I have two of the same HDDs (WD Red 4tb).  I did the same method of formating w/WHS2011 (dashboard automatic so I got 2 partitions, etc...)

 

For some reason Scanner Disk Details sees the new one as MBR.  To check things I have RDP'd into WHS2011 and loaded the "OS Server Manager - Disk Manager" to see the HDDs.  The properties (Volume Tab) clearly says Partition Type = GUID Partiaion Table (GPT) for both of the WD Red 4tb drives.

 

Any ideas on why Scanner disk details shows a different format/partion type?

 

Don't know why but it's the reporting of Partion Type = MBR for the new one in Scanner that's bugging me the most.  I think it's likely really GPT (via the OS manager).

 

EDIT: Just remembered commandline "DiskPart" - "List Disks"

 

I did that in (RDPd) WHS2011 and got the * for all the HDDs except the OS drive which I know is not my new WD Red 4tb as the OS MBR (only non-GPT) drive is only 700GB and List Disk gives the sizes.

 

So the question is what's going on with Scanner drive details?

 

Other noticable differences with the 2 HDDs is "Signature" in disk details.  The new one is 0x0000000 and the older HDD is all different stuff.  (Is this a Scanner signature for BitFlock or such?)

If you restart the service, does the issue persist?

 

And what version of StableBit Scanner are you using? 
Check the Scanner Settings, if you're not sure. It should list it at the bottom.

That did the trick!

 

Thanks for the suggestion.  I had rebooted once after adding the new HDD and started up the full sector scan (which I let finish before restarting the service as suggested.  Now it's fine.

Then it was likely an issue with Scanner getting wrong information from the "VDS" service (which tends to be not 100% reliable/stable).

 

Either way, I'm glad to hear that it's getting the correct information now.
