My error:
INTERNAL Error - No valid disk belonging to the disk group was found
(C1000096).
I recently purchased a Western Digital Caviar 200GB Hard Drive with an 8MB
cache. It worked perfectly for about five days (just long enough for me to
complete the rebate form and mail it), then suddenly I'm greeted by a family
member who says, 'hey, I can't get on your "Storage" drive.' I go to Windows
Explorer and low and behold the Drive is missing. I load up Microsoft
Management Console and then compmgmt.msc. I go to the Disk Management
section and it says "DISK 1, Dynamic, , Offline". So I right click and
choose "Reactivate Disk". It immediately says "Operation did not complete.
Check the System Events Log for more information." so I do and it says
"INTERNAL Error - No valid disk belonging to the disk group was found
(C1000096)."
WHAT CAN I DO????????????? I am at my wits end. I had copied all my
sensitive information onto that disk. I feel I could probably reformat and
start over, but that means losing 67GB of replacable data and 20GB of
unreplacable data.
PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP ME!!!
