Windows 10: I/o device error in Virtual Disk Manager

I am trying to allocate a WD Blue 1TB HD and when I go thru the setup wizard I get this error, dont know what to do, the device manager sees it, and says it’s working properly, drivers are up to date, any help would be greatly appreciated

external hard drive showing up in device management but not disk management

Hi,

I recently tried to use a brand new Seagate 2TB External HD, but it is not showing up. It initially showed up, but after I tried reformatting it to exFAT32, it disappeared from the disk management list.

I then tried:

• refreshing the disk management list,
• inserting into a different USB port,
• re-starting my computer, and
• uninstalling the device from device manager/letting it refresh,

I still can't see it. There is no yellow error in the USB controller list.

I'm on Windows 10.

Intel i5-3317U @ 1.7GHz

Any suggestions? Thanks!

 

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 ^^

side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

 

virtual disk manager

Hi Leo

Please explain this in more detail, is there some error on your system that you need to turn that off?

To turn off Virtual Disk Manager:

Click your Start Button, then just type services and hit Enter

Scroll down to find 'Virtual Disk'

Double click that service, if it is started, then click Stop

If you want to disable that totally, set its startup type to disabled . . .
