grither Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Moving my former windows OS drive from pc into unraid. Drive has 3 partitions. Will preclear remove the partitions in addition to zeroing the drive? Or should I do that before moving it in Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I believe the answer is 'No'. I am basing this response on the fact a partition which was placed on HD's by a certain MB manufacturer's BIOS caused all sorts of problems with assigning drives to the array. Link to comment
John_M Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I believe the answer is 'Yes'. I'm basing my answer on the fact that preclear over-writes the entire disk, including the partition table. Link to comment
grither Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Uh oh if two pros aren’t sure what hope is there for me lol. I guess to be safe I will just eliminate the partitions from my windows machine before moving it Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Preclearing will remove everything on the disk, including existing partitions. Link to comment
