    3 Harddrives Showing Impossibly Large Secondary Partitions


    So in the past couples days a couple drives have started to look like the drives in the picture. Those drives have a normal partition that is the right size. Whats stranger is formatting the drivers doesn't fix them. I have moved them from internal Sata to Esata, to USB enclosures but they stay that way. I have tried to format them with Easus Partition software, windows software as well as minitool partition but none of them allow me to remove those partitions.

    I also scanned all drives with various malware, ransomware, and virus scanning tools to verify it wasn't something more worrisome but nothing showed up.

  2. Help! Data partition not showing under my computer

    This is happening on a windows 2000 server. Our second partition of the system, for data is not showing under my computer. Here are the properties of it in disk management:

    with Recuva I picked I'm not sure because the drive letter was not showing up.

    The other two programs you suggested didn't show the drive either...

    I have the drive plugged in now...it's still making that noise but it will not show in the computer at all.

    EDIT: This is what it shows

    I literately need it to pop up for a few minutes just to get my pictures =\
    I'm so upset as it's not even showing up but it's getting power I can still hear it trying to spin...
    How could Error Checking and Repair completely wipe it out? I don't understand...I was able to access it perfectly fine until I did that.

    How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

    ¿You already tried this one?...

    Run CMD


    1. diskpart
    2. list disk

    Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

    2. select disk #
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

    good luck!
