Description of Issue
Internal hard drive has vanished for the 2nd time in a week. Tried to play music via app and progress bar just sits at zero, rebooted ROCK and hard drive gone!
1st time I had to remove it from ROCK machine and reformat in a caddy to reinstall into ROCK before it was found again.
Hard drive is only 9 months old and has only been used for this purpose - system was working fine until a week ago. 1st time was before the update to 2.
Aha, I have similar problem in that I can’t finish a ROCK install if the internal drive is attached.
My machine ran perfectly for at least a year. It ran perfectly with the original V2.0 install, but when I had to recover from the Roon driven mistaken downgrade to V1.8 then the problems started.
I think that there is a common cause to these problems.
It has been suggested to me by @danny to reformat the drive in another machine, but it seems that doesn’t work very long.
hp compaq elite 8300 i7. My old PC as I said running absolutely fine until this week. I wouldn’t mind if I could get it up and running in less than 24 hours - 3tb transfer of music.
No it wouldn’t see that either. Does the file system of the drive matter before it’s connected to ROCK? Can’t remember any problems when I first set this up.
I would have used that for initial setup. I formatted the drive NTFS anyway so should still have been recognized. Windows also claims no problems/errors with drive, if that can be trusted.
This happening once is a nuisance but twice is a bit worrying considering I played music for about 10 mins in between the drive going awol.
I was trying to play music that was showing in my library but progress bar just sat at zero then skipped to next song and repeated the process - I think the drive was already awol by this point. Only then did I reboot to find an empty library and drive gone. Last copied music to the drive yesterday, only thing I did different was hibernate my windows PC. Surely that could not affect CORE on a seperate PC?
