Windows 10: Hard Drives not Showing up in Windows 10

Hello,


I've just installed 2 hard drives in my Windows 10 PC.

The C drive is an SSD and is working fine.


There is also an additional 2 drives including a 240GB SSD and a 1TB HDD.


As far as I'm aware neither of these are showing up in disk management:





The only drive that I can right click on is the C Drive.

I've checked for driver updates and run the Windows Troubleshooter.


The PC is a custom built PC that I have just set up. There are no issues aside from the problem with the drives. All drives are connected via SATA and SATA Power cables.


Any help would be appreciated here because I'm at a complete loss.

Thanks!

:)

 

Windowed Hard Drives

On the contrary, showing off "slow tech" by adding a window to a hard drive is a "dumb" idea. Do you really want to be showing off a whole "7200-10000 RPM of power" or would you rather show off a plain SSD drive? (If you really desire to "show off")

Adding any window to any drive is just stupid. I just suggested an easier option for you since manufactures don't put windows on the latest hard drives.

Hard Drive not Showing

Hi Lori,

Thank you for posting back.

• How are you connecting the Hard drive to your computer?
• Have you tried connecting the hard drive to a different computer and check if it works?

It's possible that your USB drivers are corrupt. I suggest you to try the following steps and check.

• Press Windows Key +R and type
  devmgmt.msc to open Device manager.
• Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers
  at the left bottom.
• Right-click the first USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then click on
  Uninstall to remove it.
• Repeat these steps for the entire USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
• Restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB controllers that you uninstalled.

Keep us posted with the status of the issue to assist you further.

Thank you.
