Windows 10: Storage Spaces and Disk Management do not show Storage Space drives

I was using the non-SSD drives shown as a Storage Space. I can see them in Device Manager and if I use the Get-PhysicalDisk command, but I can't see them in Storage Spaces and Disk Management. It appears that two of the drives have failed, the ST3000DM001-1CH166 ATA Device which says "Lost Communication", and the WDC WD10EAVS-00D7B1 ATA Device which says "Retired". Is there any way to be able to read these drives and recover the data?


I have already tried the Reset-PhysicalDisk command on each one, as well as SFC and DSM.


Disk Management:



PowerShell: Get-PhysicalDisk



Device Manager:




Storage Spaces:

Storage Space Drives Not accessible

Hi Sam,

I have 3 disks in the storage pool.

They do not show up in File Explorer.

They do show in Disk Management as healthy with a note (space protective partition)

In Storage Spaces, they show up as "unrecognized configuration"

I do not use BitLocker.

Thanks,

 

Cannot access Storage Space

I've created a problem with Storage Spaces by changing the drive letter in Windows 10. This has caused a Storage Spaces error, and I can no longer see the Storage space in File Explorer.

Disk Management shows the drive as unallocated.

I now have the following situation. The 2 drives in the storage space are the ones shown as 931.5GB (or Disk 4 in the Management image). (it was originally set up as 10Tb but only 2 x 2tb physical disks initially)










Any suggestions as to whether I can correct this. Thanks

Colin

 

Show storage space in This PC


I can't get This PC to show the storage space bars for my drives and I've done all that's been suggested in this thread.
Any ideas why I might not be able to make the storage space bars show?
