    It would be helpful if you mentioned the things that you have tried to do that failed so that we can skip those steps. You can follow the steps provided in the article:

    a dynamic one. The instructions are also applicable for Windows 10. You can also check this article:

    Ensure that you create a back up for your system as well.

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.

    Dynamic hdd in Windows 10

    I currently have all my hdds set up as dynamic discs (minus the sdd I use as a boot drive) and have each one mirrored to an identical hdd, each housed within a server chasis with hot swap bays...each hdd is dynamic. I did this because I didn't want to
    ever lose my media, pics, etc. I thought if a "main" hdd died, I could use the "backup" hdd as the main and plug in a new hdd to use as a backup. I was told this was not possible...would any of you have any ideas how I could achieve this? Worst case scenario,
    I could probably turn them from dynamic to basic and use software (like Nero) to perform backups daily but that would take forever!
