tyoung5ND Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) My array was previously using a Dell H310 controller card with drive bays. I decided to reduce the size of my array and get rid of the controller card and drive bays. I removed the hardware and now have all the drives plugged in directly to my motherboard. After booting my array up, it says that one of my drives is missing. I tried swapping SATA cables from another drive, but the same drive is missing. I plugged the drive into my Windows machine, and the drive was successfully recognized. How do I begin troubleshooting this missing drive? Edited January 5, 2019 by tyoung5ND Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 If your BIOS isn't seeing the disk then Unraid won't either. Quote Link to comment
tyoung5ND Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Thanks, I just checked my BIOS and it does look like it is missing. The drive must be OK since my Windows machine was able to recognize it, so I'll investigate why my unraid box can't recognize it. Quote Link to comment
tyoung5ND Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 I could not think of a reason why my MB didn't recognize the one drive. I decided to just re-install my Dell controller card and drive bays. After re-installing everything, unRAID is working fine. Running a parity check right now to confirm. Quote Link to comment
