I just started out trying Unraid and made a totally n00b error and would like to ask if my situation is irreversible. 
 

I tested out Unraid (on a trial) using 1 old 1TB disk and was quite happy using it for about a day. I wanted to change my USB key as the one I originally used was 10 years old and so went ahead to create a new one. I then booted up with the new key without doing anything to the hard drives. 
 

After I booted up it showed that the file system was unmountable. I tried the xfs repair tool but it said the disk had some read / write error. 
 

I didn’t have anything important on it that wasn’t backed up so I don’t mind losing the disk. But I hope that I would be able to at least use it again. I’ve gone ahead to create a new array with a newer hard disk. 

So I Guess the question is whether I should just throw away the 1TB disk or whether it is salvageable?

Please post the diagnostics: Tools -> Diagnostics

 

 

Thanks so much for your quick reply!

 

Silly me again. I switched the hard disk to another SATA slot and surprisingly it works! The error message totally disappeared. 

Maybe a bad port, but more likely just a bad connection. We'll never know since we never got any diagnostics.
