February 8, 201412 yr I have an extra company laptop (Dell lattitude, i7, 500GB, 8GB memory) that has Windows 7/64 installed on it, and will be re-installed in a few days by the company's IT peeps. I nice moment for me to use it a couple of days as a test platform for unraid 6 I've booted unraid 6 in xen mode, and i assigned the only disk in the laptop as disk1. Nothing else. Just to see if unraid would boot, and if i could get to the gui. Now, when i restart the laptop in Windows, it does not do anything anymore again, not a problem, but i did not expect that assigning a disk would be destructive immediatly?

Yes, it is, and for me it's a misbehavior from unRAID. When you assign a drive to a slot, it overwrite the partition table immediately, without any prompt.
February 8, 201412 yr Author Yeah, a confirmation or a warning would be nice... anyway, now it's fubar anyway, i just formatted it as well. Now i can play some more with unraid 6 and get a bit more familiar with the whole vm thing.
