coblck Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Hi I have an old 500gb I've installed and precleared as was going to use within array but have decided I want to use it for transmission with it as unassigned device. I can't see an option to mount it now as I've pre cleared it. Is it possible to mount or do I have to remove it format it then reattach it. Edited May 31, 2018 by coblck Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 After a preclear it needs to be partitioned and formatted before it can be mounted. You need to enable the “Destructive Mode” option within Settings->Unassigned Devices, and then you will find that you can do this from the Unassigned Devices area of the Main Tab.

coblck Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Ok thanks will have a look when back home. Quote Link to comment
whwunraid Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I have a similar issue, 8TB USB 3.0 drive. It shows in Unassigned Devices as sdb and spun down, clicking Spin Up does nothing. It is currently formatted as NTFS; been trying differing backup strategies. So at this point I can do nothing with it. I have no options for Unassigned Devices in the Settings or Tools Menu as mentioned above. v6.5.2 Thanks for any ideas... Quote Link to comment
