Yesterday at 03:08 PM1 day I just installed Unraid for the first time and noticed I used my entire SSD for the Internal Boot Partition so I unassigned the device from that boot pool and then reinstalled from USB, reformatting as a boot drive with a data partition. Now, I can't remove or erase the first boot pool and I can't start up the array receiving a "Wrong Pool State" "too many wrong or missing devices" error. I would love to add images for clarity but I can't seem to figure that out either. Please help and take it easy on me I just had a kid so I'm blaming my ineptitude on lack of sleep.

Booted back in from the USB and then made sure to erase both existing pools and then just went through the installation wizard again and it was all cleared up.
