Unable to use hard drives or configure them in Windows Storage Spaces

I set up the drives as a striped pool in Storage Spaces but my computer crashed and I reinstalled Windows on another drive.

Now my 2 striped HDDs show up in Storage Spaces but I'm unable to configure them. Clicking "Change Settings" just grays out and does nothing like in the screenshot.

I am also able to see my drives via BIOS (AHCI), Device Manager, and WD's diagnostic tool, however I'm not able to see the hard drives in Disk Management, File Explorer, or diskpart via cmd.

Not sure what to do. I need to configure the drives so I can see them in the File Explorer, but clicking "Change Settings" just grays out and doesn't allow me to do anything.

The drives pass a SAFE test and are working properly according to Device Manager.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
