Windows 10: Storage Space Disappeared

Hello,

After a sudden power outage in my area today, my Storage Space configuration no longer works.

I had one pool consisting of about 8 drives, and it was divided into 6 storage spaces.

None of the physical drives appear directly in Windows, and only 4 of the storage spaces appear in File Explorer.

The Storage Spaces pane in Control Panel only shows an option to "Create a new pool and storage space", with a pane visible for "Drives with an unrecognized configuration". However, this panel is empty.


Is it possible to recover my data and storage spaces?


Thanks for your help.

:)

Thank you very much for your reply.


You don't show a screenshot, so I am uncertain to which part of the process of creating a storage space you are referring. I pointed you to the tutorials. I now provide you with a screenshot of part of one of them, which shows a warning which might be what you are referring to.





Your question about double storage / redundancy appears to relate to the normal operation of storage spaces once configured, so seems obscure.

My impression is that few here have used storage spaces.
