My GEN 2 is setup with 2 drives shown as (Drobo) H: and (Drobo) J: Suddenly I can no longer access H: and it now show as Local Disk H: vice (Drobo) H:
It takes up to 5 minutes for Dashboard to find the attached device and then only shows 1 volume. Also when trying to access with explorer, it recognizes but is initially slow to access the J: but does show contents and as long as I do not close explorer it is fine after the fist access. The Local Disk H: however after a minute of to gives error " H:\ not accessible".
I am using WIN7 Home Premium. So far I have tried uninstalling dashboard 2.6.4 and re-installing; uninstalling and re-installing 2.5.x. I have also re-installed the firmware 1.4.2. Nothing restores the H: to Drobo or explorer accessibility. I have no obvious errors showing, all 4 drives are green and 3 blue showing plenty of storage space remaining.
I had ordered and received a new 5N today but do not want to move the HDs over until I exhaust all possibilities to save my data (~20K pictures).
Oh yeah, I have tried on both my desktop and laptop. The only difference is that the drive letters chance due to extra internal HDs in the desktop.
