Hi Pranoti,

• Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?
• To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Do you hear any clicking sound when connecting your hard disk?

In the meantime, we suggest that you update all your device driver.

Hard disk partition not showing up.

Hi Muhammad,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



This can happen if the Hard-disk drivers are not up-to date. I would suggest you to update the hard disk drivers first. To update the drivers, please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Open Device manager.
   
2. Then Expand “Disk drives”.
   
3. Then Right click on the Hard-disk listed under this category.
   
4. Then click on Update drivers.
   
5. Alternatively you can also try to update the drivers from manufacturer’s website.
   

Once the hard-disk drivers are updated, you will need to allocate the last partition (it is not allocated according to the screenshot) and you will be able to view the partition.



Also note that sometimes the hard disk partitions/drives might be hidden in This PC or My Computer window due to a Registry key. If a DWORD with the name NoViewOnDrive or NoDrives is present under following key in Registry Editor:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer

Delete the DWORD and your drives will become visible in My Computer window.



Hope this helps.

 

Hard Disk is unreadable after updates

Hi Hermawan,

There are a number of reasons why hard disk drives fail. It may fail due to software or firmware damages which makes it unable to interact with the computer, or it may simply be corrupted due to problematic information on the
disk. For us to isolate you concern, we would like to ask the following questions:

• How long have you been using the device?
  
• Have you made changes on the device prior to the incident?
• Was it damaged physically prior to the incident?
• What have you done so far to resolve the issue?
  

In the meantime, we suggest you check the steps provided by
Time Lady on this
thread and see if it helps.

We look forward to your response.
