I am new to program. I may have not set up the HDs correctly. I get this error message: Oct 30 19:00:34 - SoftRAID Driver: One of the SoftRAID disks contains invalid data in the SoftRAID status partition. Please contact SoftRAID technical support at support@softraid.com for help with this disks. Is there a way to start over and remove the actions I have already done??

Initialize all your disks again and create your volume, that should help.

I have already created the volume. Do I need to delete it first and then initialize the disks?

If I first try to mount it will not do it. I can't delete the volume. I have not room on disk but room on volume. If Finder does not even see the Disk how can I put Images on it or expect Lightroom to use it. I may be totally confused but need help or reference to something. I'm just going in circles. I did initialize the Disk and after I do I still have 134 MB available.

Why cannot you delete the volume? What is the error?
I need to know what is wrong before I can assist.
(you are deleting using SoftRAID, correct?)

I do not know why I cannot Delete the volume using SoftRAID. In the very first post I pasted the error message that the SoftRAID gave me.
Oct 30 19:00:34 - SoftRAID Driver: One of the SoftRAID disks contains invalid data in the SoftRAID status partition. Please contact SoftRAID technical support at support@softraid.com for help with this disks. .
That is why I contacted the Forum.
Also if you look above you can see the information about the 8Tb and there is only 134 MB available. Why should I get a message like that when there is no data on the Disk that I have initialized from within SoftRAID?
I do not see the Disk on the MAC Finder, so even if I could use the Disk I cannot find the data to use it in Lightroom to import and have the data available. I may be totally missing how to use these Disks and RAID but something isn't working correctly.
Thank you

Hdere is a way to start over:
run SoftRAID
uninstall SoftRAID driver (utilities menu)
restart
Run Disk Utility.
Erase each disk (select HFS file system, its easier)
Run SoftRAID, install the driver
Make sure you Allow OWC as an identified developer again.
initialize the 4 disks
create a new volume(s) as desired.

@softraid-supportThank you. Darrin at OWC was able to talk me through cleaning up and installing. Thanks.
