WD sentine Dx4000 recreate storage error

Lucky dog :)  It took me 3 months off and on to figure it out LOL  My guess is you did what I did.  Started witt 4 drives and tried to go to 2 drives.  Raid5 to raid 1.  So it is trying to create a 5 with only 2 drives.

In any case simply slave the drives one at a time in another box and use diskpart to *clean* the drives.  You can then use the gui diskmgmt.msc to initialize the drives and format if you like.  I am not 100% sure they have to be formated.  Clean and initialize yes.

Then do recreate again.  I forget, but it should take less than 6 hours tops.  So if it goes over a day, something is still wrong and waiting 5 more days will not help.
