    Storage space doesn’t add up

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Storage space doesn’t add up

    Storage Spaces setup doesn´t recognize my SATA disk

    I want to use ReFS (Reciellent File System) to store my files on Windows 10 because it seems like ReFS is safer for file storage than NTFS. As far as I understand, you need to configure Storage Spaces with mirror space as well to really make use of the ReFS
    monitoring and file maintenance.

    Read more on the HowToGeek website:

    How to Use Windows 10’s Storage Spaces to Mirror and Combine Drives

    My problem is as follows. I have one SSD and two 2 TB SSHD:s my laptop. The SSHD:s are of exactly the same kind, but one of them is installed as a SATA disk and one is installed as a USB disk in a HDCaddy where the optical drive used to be. When I try to
    setup Storage Spaces the SATA disk is not shown as availible only the USB disk in the HDCaddy is shown, why is that?

    If my research is correct, I need to have two disks in storage spaces and format as ReFS to get the protection against file corruption that NTFS don't provide so I'm very grateful for any suggestions.

    My system is Windows 10 pro Version build 17134.

    EDIT AUGUST 11TH 2018:

    I suddenly realized there is a Windows recovery partition on the SATA disk, and I suppose I need to delete it to get Storage Spaces setup to recognize this SATA disk. Since I have several backups of the OS, and a couple of bootable USB sticks, I don't need
    a recovery partition. But I'm not ready to go ahead just yet. I need to do som more file backups first and dwell on this for a while, I don't want to rush into such a big change.
