    Malfunction of 3.5" disk drive in Windows 10.

    Hi,





    To assist on your disk drive issue, please clarify the following:


    • Did you get an error message when the disk drive refused to read the inserted disk?

    • Have you tried updating the disk drive's driver?

    • What
      other troubleshooting steps have you done so far?



    Regards.

    Checking Disk Consistency

    Ok i did as viper suggested, but it stops checking at stage 3. It is still saying the drive is dirty, and still needs to be checked. I did a defrag and a disk cleanup, and suggestions?

    Disk Drive Will Only Read Certain Disks

    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
