Hello all
I'll spare you the long, frankly moronic tale, but I have managed to delete the partitions that I suspect contain the glue that holds together my 4 drive storage pool. I did this whilst reinstalling 2012 R2 Essentials (after playing about with Server 10 Tech preview) and chose to delete them at the drive tool section of the installation. There was one per drive and they were around 149mb if I recall, all "system reserved". For clarity I did nothing else to them (i.e., after deleting them, I didn't create a new partition or format etc). Similarly, the actual storage remains untouched. No, I hadn't got around to taking another backup...
get-physicaldisk in poweshell shows the four drives with "unrecognised metadata" and "false" under "canpool". They are otherwise healthy and appear as primordial in the storage pane in the dashboard.
I will happily accept the inevitable abuse if anyone can provide some hope I can recover this mess...
Thanks in advance.
