Will not Format


Recommended Posts

So I had a bad drive. Bought a new 2 tb drive shut down the system put it in started and ran preclear. then ran format drive. It failed. I then tried it woth a second one it failed, thirdn failed also. It that point I took the 3 new 2tb drive put them in a new system started unraid from a second thumbdrive and it built the system out. Formatted the 2 drives and set the 3rd to parity.  I have a norco 4224 and have moved the drives all around with no luck.  Any suggetions?

On the production box I bring the system down install the drive boot set it to the missing drive and check the box yes I want to format this drive and click format on the menu in unraid.  I did the same thing with a different box and thumbdrive, I used 2 drives 1 party and one data and it formatted.  I took it out and moved the drive to the production box and it won't format.  I have tried moving it all around the chasis.

A replacement drive should never be formatted. When a failed drive is replaced, the entire partition is rebuilt. This includes formatting. Did the failed drive have a red ball showing on unRAID Main?
