My WHS consists of a 500gig "primary" drive, and two 2TB drives as part of the storage pool.
The "primary" drive started getting errors, and eventually the server would freeze after being up for a few minutes.
I had mirroring turned on for almost everything, so my data likely spans all three of these drives.
I've replaced the 500gig, and re-installed WHS. After that was complete, I reconnected my two 2TB drives (the old primary drive is set aside for now).
So, here's the question. Can I somehow convince the new installation to recognize the 2 TB drives as being part of the pool without formatting them? If not, how am I supposed to get the system back to a good state without buying new 2TB drives to migrate the data to?
Thanks for any insight!
