Shares are visible now that I disabled my ad blocker, thanks. I followed these steps. The 3TB drive is showing up, the two 2TB drives are "unmountable." The diagnostics file is attached. kipple-diagnostics-20180717-1306.zip Windows Explorer gives me a network error when I try to access the 3TB drive in disk1 slot, Chrome says the file isn't available. Thanks for the tip, this is much easier.

Attach drive Start machine Go to the Array tab on the Main screen Select the drive from the pull down for one of the disks that is unassigned (Disk 2 in the attached screenshot) Start the array from the Array Operation tab I don't see any shares on the Shares screen. I am access unRAID from a windows machine on my network. Thank you for your help, I know just enough to get unRAID up and running. Is there a way to mount the drives to a windows machine? The unRAID drives don't show up when I attach them to my Win10 laptop.

Had a busy weekend, but was able to recheck things today. Each of the two smaller drives (2TB) have have exactly the same content, which is a subset of the larger drive. Hopefully, the attached image explains what is on the drives. The music and videos folders are the ones I am most interested in recovering. To best of my recollection, here are the steps I took. Since I don't have any of the drives that unRAID is looking for I got lots of errors when I first started up the box. I assigned the first retired drive to a disk # that wasn't previously in use, #5 I think. I've done the same thing, more or less for the other two drives I've tried, assigning them to an unassigned disk #.The first, and largest/newest drive, I put into the unRAID has several subfolders. Once I copied all the files I wanted to another machine, I pulled that drive out and added the next newest drive, only to discover that the music and videos folders have the exact number of folders and files and total file size as the first drive. I thought was was very suspicious, so I tried a third drive, it too has the exact number of folders and files and total file size as the first drive. It seemed very strange that the two drives had the exact same information on them, and that info was a subset of the info on the larger drive. I have one retired drive left that I have not tried, but I am wary to install it for fear that I might be writing over the data on the drive. Probably a misplaced fear, but I lost a lot of data and want to recover as much as possible.

Maybe the answer to my problem is somewhere, but I don't even know what to search for... During my cross country move the case that contained all 4 of my array drives was "lost" (along with 3 laptops and a tablet). I have my unRAID box, the cache drive, and a handful of drives that I pulled from my array over the past several years. I plugged one of the old drives into my unRAID box, started it up, and I was able to copy all the data off that drive. However, when I plugged in the next old drive and started up the unRAID box I'm seeing the exact same files on the second drive. Trying a third drive had the same result, so I powered down the box and thought I would post here to see what might be causing this. Thanks in advance for any advice on what might be going on, Brian
