Moved a pool of 8 drives to a new, yes Win10 machine. One of the drives was listed as missing and did not turn up in Scanner or Drive Management. Not a power or data cable issue. Connected it to the old PC externally USB to test, came up as RAW in Drive Management. At this point I'm thinking the drive is corrupt/damaged etc. So despite my belief that the pool's duplication was incomplete I tell Drivepool to remove the missing drive and add in a new replacement. Then I take the presumed 'damaged' drive and install internally on the old PC to run Scanner on it... Not only does it show up in Drive Management as 'Healthy' and NTFS, but the old Drivepool on the system informs me that seven of eight drives (the ones moved to the new PC) are missing from the pool *eyes rolling*. The drive seems fine and seems to have all it's data intact. So now the big question, is it possible to reintegrate a drive that was listed as missing and removed from Drivepool (assuming the duplication was incomplete and it has files on it that are not duplicated in the pool) -OR- must I do a folder level merging of the files just to be sure I don't loose any data?
