WeirdlyI also have a Dell running windows 10, chose not to share information, and my install stopped at 18%. Going to try your advice of agreeing to share and see what happens. That is pretty shady if that is something automatic.

Oh Hell what a mess. So here is my plan. The drive appears to be fully functional, it is just this software install which does not work?? If that is the true, Go here: -en.wd.com/app/products/product-detail/p/119#WD_downloads and download the Utilities, Security and Acronis (Backup) software. Install these and call it a day. If this fails I will be back to let you know.


Windows 11-After watching 18% for 10 min, I opened the task manager and ended the application in Processes and Apps completely. I went back to download it and was successful. It took less than a minute. If it stalls at 18%, delete and download again. Worked for me.


Ok SOLVED! You literally need to think outside the box. I experienced everything as you all were. It took me maybe an hour to figure this out. Drag the WD software off the storage to downloads or where ever you like to put your software and extract it from there. It completely installed and worked perfectly, synced all my drives and the WD is completely loaded and I can see the 100% space on it. I hope this helps you all. Also I am using Windows 11.

So I have made my first attempts (making dynamic disks, etc) and while it is possible to make the bootable C partition mirror, I cannot make a D partition to put data. In fact, I cannot even extend the C partition with the unallocated space.


Did you right click on where it says Disk 0 ? You want to mirror the disk, not the partition. Ditch the boot disk, install on one disk, let it do the partitions in setup, make sure the other disk is just raw space, then mirror disks as advised.


Again that is what I thought would happen but it does not mirror the disk. Instead, you have to convert it to a dynamic disk and go through several processes. If you simply click mirror, it will get you to convert the disks to dynamic.


I have used hardware raid on windows server for the last couple of decades or so for one offs, but for the most part have been in larger scale enterprise environments where I am fully virtualized. That being said I am pretty sure that I have done it this way as well as via the cli on 2012r2 or 2016, not sure which. Neither diskpart nor disk manager have changed in the last decade or two, so I would think it would work on more modern versions of server 2012.


Not trying to be rude and I know you are trying to help but I am insisting that it is not what you think. I know quite a lot about Disk Manager and DISKPART and I am telling you that they are not working as expected or the various instructions from the Internet.
