I have a WD DX4000 with the original WD drives that came with the box. I downloaded the recovery iso and created the bootable disc but when i try to recreate the index i am getting an invalid config error. Please help
recreate the index? You mean restore the default image?
Do the middle step recreate then look in the log file on the thumb drive in the wd folder
Ive tried. It starts up and loads the recovery, cleans the drives and ends with invalid disc count.
I have the same two original drives that came with the system
The 3rd step is recovery. I want you to do the middle step, recreate and post the log file to a onedrive or dropbox share
Where is the log file contained?
here are the two text documents
LCD0 = INVALID DRIVE
LCD1 = COUNT

it is on the thumb drive you booted from to do the recreate storage. In the WD folder
IS that the entire log file from there above? If so, before I say it is broken you have to make sure you have a good download of the recovery.iso The only way to do that is if you are provided with a md5 hash file of some sort to verify the download.

full version of log file…
Where do i get the recovery that matches my hash? i found a link in the community that contained the iso.
… Ok so i figured out why it wasnt reading the drives. Someone unseated the board. Moving forward now when i try to do step two i just get three \\
well the date is wrong and you can’t change it, but I don’t think that is the problem. You might take the cover off and try to re-seat the connectors for the cage. You might do one disk to start with and see if it shows up. slave it in another PC and do diskpart>clean Make sure you clean the correct drive when using diskpart 
Perhaps this thread may get you a hash file
well you posted while I was looking around. Are you supposed to have 4 drives? Swap them around and see if it the drive or the slot
nope just two. cleaned both drives and they both show up in a secondary system… attempting to boot the recovery but it just keeps blinking (power light) and to the far left i’m just getting ///
oh yea made sure everything was connected. I just need it to go into recovery
you have to do recreate first and show me a good log file
One of em, and I think it is the third recover, you have to make a new thumb each time as it deletes an xml file when it tries to run
I am going to bed now. Good luck
Hi Gramps, I am having similar issues when trying to rebuild my storage so I can do a clean install.
I have the original 3 HDD’s and when I boot using the create storage USB drive, I get an invalid Config. error on the LCD screen. I have the log file if you have an email I can send it to if you would review and offer any advice.
Would the drives need to be formatted on another PC using an external caddy? If so, what program would I use to format them using the correct file system?
Thanks
Look at the end of the file and you can see what it says. In your case it should say something like raid 5 using 3 drives
Yes, use a caddy in another PC and do an admin cmd prompt and diskpart for each disc
list disk (identify the proper disc)
select disc X
clean
exit
Make sure you select the correct disc and do not wipe your computer !!
Here is the link to the LOG file, https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtR4eNv5DjSXjT5st7ANt-7W8d0B
Also, I pulled up the admin cmd prompt and input diskpart, however the disc in the caddy shows under my STORAGE management as DISK 2 only without a drive letter. What step should I key in the command prompt to get to the correct drive?
EDIT: Youtube helped me switch to the correct disk and I cleaned the drive, however I get the same error when I ran the USB Create Storage again.
thanks
