    Storage space dissappeared after setup


    This acer laptop had linux. I put windows 10 on a usb and booted it on it so i can use it with win 10 instead. In the process i think i deleted disk partitions. Long story short i have a fresh laptop with win 10 and 57gb space on local disk c and no other drives or storage. obviously this laptop's storage is way bigger than 57gb. what did i do wrong?

    :)

    Storage Spaces setup

    Original title: Storage Spaces

    I have Storage Spaces setup on drive D: using Windows 8.1 I want to do a fresh installation of Windows 10 on the PC, will my Storage Spaces drive remain or do I have to break it before I do the fresh installation or am I limited to doing an upgrade.

    Storages Spaces Configuration

    I think I found the solution. It seems that there is a BUG in Storage Spaces. If you select Parity you cannot use the ReFS file system. The setup incorrectly allows you to select the ReFS file system after selecting Parity and then bombs out with the error
    reported in my last post.

    Through this process of starting down the Storage Spaces function two big road blocks for me were:

    • The use of a RAID card. It seems that you cannot have any implementation, e.g. software or hardware, of RAID on the system if you want to use Storage Spaces on that system.
    • If you want to use Parity you cannot use the ReFS file system.
    Hopefully MS will fix the above issues.

    Storage Spaces Parity Repair?

    Many thanks, muchomurka!

    Unfortunately, following your suggested procedure it appears the Storage Spaces parity error persists.
