Thank you guys. Nick:stewpid:
Go to disk management, and make sure it has a drive letter assigned to it, if not, give it one of the free ones offered
this sometimes happens when you setup a dual boot... even dual windows ... sometimes it just doesnt initialize all disks in all installations. but yeah fix should be as extraord. said.
And yet another stupid question.....How do I get to disk management lol? I just keep em coming today huh?
Ok when I go to device management I can see that drive as ( f ) when I press populate it says 476939 Mb of space then the following cattagories are available...General,Policies,Volumes,Driver,Details. Thats it.I did a (format) to erase it but yet it still only showing 999mb for some reason. What the hell?
Disk management, not device manager Right click the start button > disk management (Or start > right click My Computer/This PC > Manage) Find the drive > right click > change drive letters and paths > choose a new letter for it
Ok I found it but now it says convert to dynamic disk,convert to gpt disk,new spanned volume,new stripped volume? I am sorry again ( storage ) is not really my thing as you can see haha.
You only need to select this option Take a screenshot of your entire disk management window and post it here Check the disk doesn't saw RAW If it says RAW, or Unallocated, and you have files on that disk you need to keep, you'll need to run a data recovery program If not, create a new simple volume
I got it now that was very helpful thank you Extraordinary you are the man! So now I have 4 drives running 2 ssd's 2 Hdd's . I did this so many times in the past but for some reason Its not clicking. Thanks again guys.
