    Can't access Internal HDD from file explorer or disk management.


    I started my laptop as usual but I am unable to see my secondary HDD, only primary system C drive is accessible. When I open disk management only the C drive is shown but not the HDD D drive1std Pic. I am getting this notification when I open a folder from "quick access" that is in the HDD D drive2nd Pic. I have tried everything but the HDD drive won't show anywhere. Please help.

    :)

  3. Internal SATA HDD not appearing in disk management console

    I recently upgraded the booting drive from a mechanical HDD to a solid state disk. I have a second internal 2TB mechanical HDD. After installing Windows, I cannot access the disk! Neither does it appear in disk management console, nor in Windows Explorer.

    HDDs Listed Twice in File Explorer & Device Manager

    I did a clean install of win 10 on a new SSD. Everything appears to have gone well except the assigning of drive letters. I have 4 HDDs that were assigned drive letters E, F, G, & H in win 7. When I added them to the win 10 install they were assigned
    drive letters J – M and the USB3 drives were assigned drive letters D – G. I need my HDDs to have drive letters E – H because some of my software expects data to be on those drives. In Disk Management I changed the drive letters of the HDDs and USBs to
    reflect drive letters of E – H for the HDDs. While looking at File Explorer I discovered that the HDDs are all listed twice. I looked in Device Manager and the HDDs and the USBs are listed there as Disk Drives and as Portable Devices.

    The USBs don’t show up in File Explorer unless there is a drive plugged into them, although the box in Folder Options “Hide empty drives” is not checked.

    Is anyone out there aware of this problem and a solution for it?

    My hardware is Intel i7 3770 on an ASUS p8z77 - v pro motherboard.
