Unable to import disks (no available volumes)

[Halo3Productions]

Resolved.

I've been trying to create a CIFS, but I need to select a volume. I go to create a volume, but no disks are available for me to select (aka there are no member disks). I only have one disk in the system (Dell Vostro 200).

Edit: The whole goal is simply to get a Windows share up. I just installed the latest x86 version of FreeNAS. I am logged in as root/admin.

Sounds like you installed the OS on your only disk instead of on a thumb drive: http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Hardware_Recommendations#Compact_or_USB_Flash.

Correct. I installed it on the only disk. I was thinking that might be the problem. I believe the first time I installed FNAS last year I used a thumb drive. I'll reinstall on a flash drive, and see how it goes.

Can't get any clearer than that.

Update: Worked like a charm. Thanks!
