Windows 10: Can't initialise disk but can see it on disk manager

I can see the hard drive on disk manager but when i try to initlise it, i get an error message. I need help to recover the data on this but i need to assign a letter for the drive so i can use data recovery software. I could really use some help, im a beginner

New SSD installed Disk Management won’t show “Initialise Disk”

hi thanks for that suggestion. Just done that. what do you think?

 

Disk management console view is not up-to-date

i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


enter in
DISKPART
list disk

then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
type in

Select Disk 7
List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
ASSIGN


that should get the array up and running ready to use.


EDITED.

any problems, post back ^^


Still EDITING *Stick Out Tongue

side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

hi there, pretty I cleaned every drive before. but following your instructions it keeps asking for a volume? Also, I took a screenshot of Disk Management as it is right now.
