    Do not use storage spaces -- mega problems !!!


    Hi folks

    sometimes when restoring different or earlier images of windows 10 after you've defined a storage space / storage pool on a later version you can't even see the HDD's in the storage pool even with DISKPART in admin mode.

    Strangely enough though AOMEI partition manager can see them so you can reformat / delete and then get access to the HDD's as normal disks again.

    Minitool partition wizard failed totally to see the HDD's at all.

    I'd suggest unless you are really brave leave Windows storage spaces well alone !!!!

    Bad one Microsoft !!!

    Cheers

    One user found their storage space inaccessible after upgrading from 1 Win 10 build to another. Going back to the previous build all was well.

    Hmm.

    I just create a system image for Win 10, then created a storage space (2-way mirror), and restore from the system image. However, my storage space is working perfectly on both Windows and third party programs. What changes you've made?

    Hi there

    problem arises when changing builds or even going back to Win 7

    Insider skip ahead build didn't like them either.
