External Hardrive issue

[Mr Jones]

Hi all

I have a two bay Icy Box each with two 2TB drives in set up from the outset as RAID1. In use for quite some time. Windows 10.

Due to a problem with another single drive I removed the two drives from the ICY Box and carefully put them to one side. Changed Icy Box setting to single disc and did work on the single drive. So far so simple.

I removed the single disc and set the Icy Box back to RAID1. But although the PC knows the drive are there they are not recognised. Not a problem I thought - I need to re-assign a drive letter. So I went to disc management where sure enough the drive is there. But is says disc NOT INITIALISED. It offers to Initialise it but I think this will lose access to all the data. I was expecting some button or other just to assign drive letter.

Does anyone have an ideas please. There is load of adult data but also personal data like all my tax spreadsheets and stuff.

Maybe can people not use this thread to tell me that windows and/or RIAD1 and or some other thing would have been better. Well intended I'm sure but what I want is to get to the data !

TIA

Mr J.
