Default Re: 4100 SMART error

Try using this cmd "co de format xxxxx /reinit /nocore"

The /nocore will gain you a little extra space.

If this doesn't work. You only have 2 options. Find another HD that has the right capacity. Which is difficult since they have the same PN.

or

Backup all the data
delete the raid5
re-format all drives
Move the small capacity drive to #1 position
Then build the raid5 array.

With the smallest drive in drive 1 position, it will build an array based on the smaler capacity. By doing so you will not run in to this problem again.

It would have been nice if Quantium had used a different part number.
