I recently built a PC and have a 128 GB SSD as my bootable drive and a 3 TB seagate Hard drive as my secondary drive. I am running Windows 8.1. The PC has been running for 2 months with no issues.
Yesterday after doing a reboot, the drive disappeared in Windows Explorer. When I go to Disk Management, the drive is Online under Disk 1. It is labeled as Storage Pool, Healthy (Storage Spaces Protective Partition). The top of the box is dark blue. When I right click on the drive, all fields are greyed out with the exception of Help.
Troubleshooting Steps so far.
1. I rebooted
2. I reseeded the SATA and power cable
3. I removed hard drive and used a SATA to USB adapter. I attached it to the computer and then a second computer. I got the same results on both
4. Reinstalled the hard drive and tried reinstalling the drivers.
5. Went to Manage Storage Spaces and saw error Unrecognized configuration;reset drive. I did not try to reset drive due to not wanting to lose contents.
6. Downloaded SeaTools for Windows. All tests that I run for this drive pass. (SMART Check, Short Drive Self Test, Short Generic, Long Generic, Fix All {Fast,Long})
Any ideas on what else I can do? Thanks
