2 days ago I noticed that my DrivePool was (almost) empty. After opening DrivePool it stated all except 1 drive were missing.
I have 6 drives in my pool, one with a driveletter assigned to it, the other 5 without.
The one with a driveletter is used as a "download-disk" and I need to access folders on this drive. The rest of the drives are 100% pooldata and I don't need to access them individual. This way "This PC" stays clean without too many drives.
All the drives without a driveletter were missing in drivepool.
After adding a driveletter to them and removing them from the drivepool they were back and the pool was complete.
Every time I remove a driveletter from a datadisk it will disappear in DrivePool after a reboot. When assigning a driveletter to the disk and removing the drive from the pool, it reappears.
I already tried the Reset all Settings function, but DrivePool would hang.
I also tried to remove DrivePool and re-install the programm, but here I got a notice saying that the service can't be stopped.
After I delete the folder-shares on the DrivePool I was able to uninstall DrivePool.
After a new installation DrivePool recognized the complete pool without having to re-add the drives. Although, after removing a driveletter from a datadisk and a reboot, the original problem resurfaced...
I checked all the disks and partitions on it, they all seem to be fine. chkdsk won't find any problems. I checked all the cables on the drives and the mainboard.
I'm running out of ideas to try.
Yes I can live with driveletters assigned to my datadisks, but it worked fine until 2 days ago. I just want to find out what happened.
Does anyone recognize this problem and how did you fix it?
