Windows 10: Disk Burst definition

Hi, I am trying to understand how to make the "Disk burst ignore time" setting described herehttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/customize/power-settings/disk-settings-disk-burst-ignore-timework as I need it to. First, I need to understand how the "Disk Burst" of activity to be ignored is defined, so that I don't waste time trying to use the wrong thing.The information provided from Microsoft is far from exhaustive. I hope someone can help me here. Thanks :

:)

 

How to: Disk Burst Ignore Time

Hi, I searched the web for a clear explanation but didn't really find anything. MS's page Disk burst ignore time is even more confusing.

I had already set the "Turn Off Disk After" value to 20 minutes but now I have set the Burst Ignore Time to 2 minutes and the HDD turns off in less than one minute, even after manually waking it up (by going to a folder located on it).

So i'd be glad if anyone could explain how to use Disk Burst Ignore Time and the difference with Turn Off Disk After (which i thought i knew how it worked but uhm)

Cheers

 

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?

 

diskpart doesn't show disk

Hey,

I am trying to install Win10 on a mac book air.

However the diskpart does not list the disk even after reformatting the partition as NTFS per suggestion.

read through this solution but cannot move to step 1 listed in the solution by Ivan as that disk doesn't see that partition it was just able to reformat.

Regards
