Hi Guys, 

New to unraid and it was running fine until installed a new harddrive and had to swap a sata port on one of the existing drives. 

Now it shows up with the error as per screen shot below, is there any way to recover this? 

 

thanks

Your board is creating these:

 

Also change SATA controller from IDE to AHCI/RAID.

 

 

Forgot to mention, you have other disks with HPA enable, but don't remove it on those or Unraid will also complain the disks are wrong, but now because they are larger than they should be, only remove on disk3 and disable that feature on the board BIOS so more are not created.

Thanks JorgeB, that worked, i was able to get the array up and running again. 

I've found the Xpress BIos Recovery option in bios and have turned it off, funny thing I updated the bios to the latest version and that was the problem prior to this version it didn't have this HPA feature!

 

In regards to the other drives that have the the HPA issue but are still working correctly in unraid, should i fix them the same way?

 

thanks again.

Not for now or Unraid will complain they are wrong, it's not a problem having them like that and once you replace/upgrade those disks it will be gone.

Also note that HPA can make Unraid complain that parity isn't large enough if you try to assign one of those to parity.
