I am attempting to add a pair of new disks to a storage pool, but when I do I get the following error:
Can't Prepare drives
Close all applications that are accessing the drive, and then try again
The system cannot find the file specified.
(0x00000002)
I notice in get-disk that the drive has changed from GPT to RAW.
Some possibly interesting data points:
Attempting to add again after the disk is in RAW has the same failure even if the disk has been cleaned
I had 3 identical disks, added the first one singly and it added fine, the other 2 I added later, and tried to add them simultaneously, this failed (I believe with a different error, unfortunately I don't have it anymore)
I have tried cleaning the disk using diskpart, uninstalling the disks in question from the device manager and then rebooting, but I still have the same outcome
The disks do not appear in get-physicaldisk (they are definitely not in the primordial pool), but are shown in get-disk
