NV+ Bad Disk #1... Replace with unit on or off?
Hello, I'm having some issues booting an NV+ with a bad disk (unit has 4x 750GB ST3750640AS in XRAID.) Initial problem was reported as a dropped network share for the local workstations accessin...

I'm considering the cloning route, but my cloning tools are windows-based. Not normally an issue, but the PC wants me to initialize the disks as MBR or GPT so they can be seen by the logical disk manager - can't see them in the cloning software if I don't; however, I'm concerned that this would make an irreversible change to the drive, thus rendering any other attempt to clone or sync impossible. Thoughts?
