Hi
i was looking to make my Cinema PC as a server so I could access the drives with all of my movies on using a media server. The computer has a SSD and 3 x 3TB hard drives.
I looked online for advice and found a video showing how to set up a remote link using tightVNC and I managed to do that okay.
The guy then went on to show how to set up drives in an array so it only had one drive letter. This was using setting up a new pool within window.
Stupidly I followed the instructions and received an error. I then found that all of the drives had vanished completely. There was no warning either from him or windows to state that there would be a loss of the data.
I then went in to disc management and reallocated the drives. However it now states that they need to be reformatted.
I have easus partition manager which is currently doing a scan but it is showing no partitions found and the disks as unformatted. It has been scanning for hours and only at 37%
Is there something else I should try as I have terrabytes of my films on the drives or is it all a lost cause and I should just go and jump off the nearest high bridge.
Cheers for any help
