  1. 2nd hdd half free but apps show me that it is full


    I'm getting a very annoing issue with my second hdd:


    It's a 927GB of hdd and I'm using 463GB.

    Few days ago Free Dowload Manager started to complain about the amount of free space. Then it stoped to works saying:There is not enough space on the disk

    I thought that it is was a FDM's bug till today when Oracle VirtualBox couldn't save my machine status because: hdd full!


    I deleted a few files but nothing.


    What is going on?

    :)

    After upgrading to Windows 10 - 2nd and 3rd HDDs cannot be seen??????

    Hi,

    What is the make and model of your computer?

    I suggest you to check in BIOS setting whether both the HDD are listed there. You may get in touch with your computer manufacturer or refer to the user manual on how to enter BIOS settings.

    If it is listed in BIOS, you may check whether you are able to see both the HDD in Disk Management. Follow the steps to check:

    Press Windows Key + X.

    Click on Disk Management.

    Please reply us with the required information to assist you further.

  3. HDD in a HDD caddy is not showing up in the disk management

    Hi,

    To assist you better, I would like to ask some questions:

    • How are you connecting the HDD Caddy?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?

    If you are connecting the device using USB, I suggest you to check if other USB devices are recognized as USB devices or Other device. If it is displaying as other device, then the issue might be with the USB port. So, I suggest you to update the USB drivers
    by following the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X, select Device Manager.
    • Expand Universal Serial Bus Controller.
    • Right click on the drive, select Update Driver Software and follow the on-screen prompts.

    Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

    2nd hdd half free but apps show me that it is full

    unlock hdd

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.
