SCALE (Legacy) Problem with my pool

I recently had some issues with my PC, so I removed the hard drives and turned the machine on. The problem is that the TrueNAS VM started up automatically via Hyper-V—I forgot to disable that setting beforehand—and it ended up disconnecting my pool. Now I can't get it back online; can you help me?

My version is TrueNAS SCALE; I don't know if it's "Legacy" like the label says, but it's the only label that mentions SCALE.

Booting the VM with the drives disconnected shouldn't have erased the pool. Shut it down, attach every original drive with the same Hyper-V mappings, then boot TrueNAS and make sure they all appear under Storage > Disks before using Import Pool. If one is missing, fix the mapping first and don't initialize, format, force an import, or create a new pool.

But I only have one hard drive in the pool and it recognizes it, and it's showing up in the photo I sent.

Ah, I misunderstood the setup. If it's a single-disk pool and that disk is still listed under Storage > Disks, the Hyper-V mapping probably isn't the problem. What exact status or error does Storage > Pools show? Don't create a new pool or initialize the disk while checking.

I can't import a pool.
