Problems with disk drive on DELL Inspiron Computer i560-3102MNK uses Windows 7 and has 6GB Memory with 1TB Hard drive

Hello Kelly,

It is possible that the issue could be hardware-related. We'd like to know if the hard drive is still being detected from the BIOS or Disk Management. To access Disk management, please follow the steps below:

1. From the Start Menu, right-click on the Computer icon and choose Manage from the context menu.
2. Click on Disk Management, which appears in the left-hand side under the heading Storage.
3. The list of the hard drives available is now be visible in the center of the window.

If you're able to find the hard disk from the list, you can try to create a partition on your hard disk. Please refer to this link:
Create a partition on a Windows 7 Hard Disk.

If you're unable to find the hard drive, it is possible that the hard drive is failing. I suggest that you contact the device manufacturer for further assistance.

Let us know if you have any other concerns.

Disk Drive Storage

Hi,



Thank you for posting your concern on Microsoft Answer Community.



I understand the inconvenience that can be caused, when the computer does not work the way it is supposed to. We would like you to refer the

Storage Spaces in Windows 10 article as storage space helps to protect the data and extend the storage. It creates a virtual drives from all the drives connected.



As this issue occurred because one of the drive was having a RAID configuration, which you have deleted. To have a better and more secure option than RAID,
let me point you in the right direction to get the relevant support. I would suggest you to post your query on Microsoft
TechNet
forum, where we have the engineers with the expertise to provide solutions for issues related to RAID.
