    How do I turn a storage pool back into a normal harddrive?


    A while age I converted my Toshiba Harddrive into a storage pool so I could fit more storage onto my Windows 10 laptop. I no longer need it to be a storage pool anymore and want to convert it back to its original state so it can work like a normal harddrive again.

    I tried doing this myself by going into the disk management place and deleting the volume on it, but then it disappeared and there was no option to convert it back to a basic disk which I thought would be the last step. It completely disappeared and I don't know how to access my drive anymore as I cannot find it anywhere in my computer.

    All the help would be appreciated as this harddrive cost me an arm and a leg and I really want it to go back to normal.

    Thank you.

    :)

    How to remove a bad drive in Windows 10 storage spaces pool

    Could someone list the steps involved in replacing a bad drive from a Windows 10 storage spaces pool? I cannot find any info on the Microsoft support site that is specific to Windows 10. Also, could you list the steps to remove a 'good' drive and replace
    it with another drive if the process is different?

    Storage pool 4 * 1TB


    I have a spare computer running windows 10 pro, running as a "server". I have added 4 1 tb harddrives and pooled them to have one storage space of +/- 4tb. my question is, If one of my drives fail will the whole pool be gone? i ask because i had created the pool and then the computer had some issue so i disconnected the 2 new drives that i had put in and restarted the computer ( at this point only 2 drives were connected out of the 4) but the pool storage space wouldn't show up, after reconecting the 3rd and 4th drive the pool showed up. is there any way i can save my data in case of one drive failing????
