I had a massive power outage & surge here due to a storm and when the server came back up the 3TB drive in a USB enclosure (Sabrent) showed as GPT Protected Partition and alot of un-allocated space. Unable to access or be seen by Drivepool or windows & you can't touch it. Putting it back into the malfunctioning enclosure & it works fine and is seen by all. Only problem is the drive runs full tilt all the time and overheats (passive cooling in the "working" enclosure) How do I go about removing the drive from the pool and then making it usable in the new enclosure to re-partition and reformat? The drive is locked (GPT protected partition) by any other method of connecting it to the computer. Just don't want to lose 2+ TB of data or my hard drive. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
