Windows 10: Get-PhysicalDisk i see HDD but in Get-Disk dont show 2 from 3 disk i have.

Get-PhysicalDisk show me my 3 disks i have and i want up and ready. But if i write command get-disk i see only one. Same in windows itself. Same in device manager i see all my disks but in disk manager i see only that what is for system. Wich is SSD and two HDD i want too because are 2x 2000gb they i cannot launch and windows cannot see them only in device manager. Somebody from windows know what to do ? I try everything and idk what to do. Disk work fine before reinstal windows and now i cannot get them so windows can work with them. In DOS i see disks too i can boot windows on them. but i dont want to do that someone know that commands for powershell so i can get them up and running ?. Thanks.

disk shows up in powershell get-disk, but not in get-physicaldisk

I have added a new drive to my machine. I can see it in drive manager, and format it, and use it.

I want to add that to an existing storage pool

I try to add it using the manage storage pool app, but it always fails tells me something is using the disk

I tried to first take it offline, and same thing

I tried to unpartition it, so it is raw, and add it that way, same thing.

so I wanted to try to add it using powershell.

I can see the disk when I run get-disk, but it does not show up when I run get-physicaldisk

all of the commands I can find tell me how to add a physicaldisk to a storage pool, but I cannot figure out how to get a disk to show up as a physicaldisk.

so I have my boot drive 0

my existing storage space 4

and my new drive 2, healthy and online, with the correct serial number from the drive
but disk 2 does not show up as a physicaldrive

One note, initally I had the same "friendly name" listed in get-disk and get-physicaldisk with different serial numbers

I am trying to add a second drive that matches the first. same model, so it initially got the same friendly name, but I changed it with

set-physicaldisk -friendlyname ST32000542AS -newFriendlyName Disk4
but I cannot figure out why the second disk does not show up as a physical disk

 

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
