My drive failed, and I cannot unmount the drive because of the file conflicts. All these reports are about how WHS protects you - accept when you use the protection... Problem is - I STILL cannot find anything which says how to REMOVE the drive when the console refuses due to file conflicts. When I look at the file conflicts - there are none.

I think I have lost files and that means for me the WHS is a total waste of time and money…

I am really confused.

I did my best to turn duplication off on each folder (since it said that I did not have enough space to remove the drive without doing so, which I don't think was accurate either) and removed the drive. I don't know exactly how well this worked. I have replaced the drive and have duplication on and the fix installed. Is there a check of the files that can be done to see if anything was lost or corrupted? So far nothing is obvious. Thanks I had a drive fail between pp1 and the fix.
