    Storage Spaces Upgrade Error


    I had a storage pool consisting of 4 drives that were in parity. While using Windows 10 on the 1909 update, I clicked to "upgrade pool" and it caused the storage pool to create an error that rendered the pool unrecognizable. Now the drives only show up as "Healthy Storage Spaces Protective Partition", but the drive letter is gone and I cannot access or recreate the storage pool. How do I fix the pool or recover my data?!?

    :)

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

    Storage Spaces Parity Repair?

    Hi: I'm a newbie here... using an OWC Thunderbay 6 DAS with Thunderbolt 3 for video/photo files using (Win 10 Home) Storage Spaces for the past 6 weeks without problems. Using Parity option in Storage Spaces to emulate RAID 5 protection.

    Today, got Parity Error in Manage Storage Spaces, though all 6 drives show "OK". Both Hard Disk Sentinel and CrystaDiskInfo also show normal drives. No pertinent drive events in Event Viewer.

    From reading other posts from folks with Storage Spaces issues, I'm inclined to "repair" this parity error if possible, and then consider migrating to DrivePool to avoid repetition or other future issues with SS. Can anyone walk me through how to do a parity repair?

    If not doable, then can someone detail a step-by-step process for migrating my 24Tb currently on Storage Spaces to Drivepool? Many thanks!
