Windows 10: Initializing a disk fails.

Initializing a disk fails with this error: cyclic redundacy check. Is there a solution?

:)

 

Machines Fail to Start and Initialize


OK in this case the additional info in the error message really does not reveal anything.

Do you store the virtual hard disks and configuration files on default places? VHD files in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks, and the configuration files in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V? If so you could try this and tell if you could create and run a vm:

• Create a folder Hyper-V on root of any drive than C:
• On that folder create a subfolder, name it as VHD, and another with a name VM
• Create a new VM
• In New Virtual Machine Wizard, step Specify name and location, select Store the virtual machine in a different location, browse to the Hyper-V\VM folder you created and select it as the location
• In New Virtual Machine Wizard, step Connect Virtual Hard Disk, click the Browse button next to Location, browse to the Hyper-V\VHD folder you created and select it
• Finish the setup, launch the vm

Let's try to use system restore instead. Follow the steps below:

• 
  Start your desktop, and after the manufacturers logo disappears and Windows 10 tries to boot, press and hold the power button for 5-10 seconds to perform a hard shut
  down.
  
  
  
• 
  Do the step #1 until you see the Windows logo screen or Please wait during boot. (You
  may need to perform this up to 3 times.)
  
• 
  After Windows 10 boots into the Windows 10 Recovery Environment (WinRE), you can now access Startup
  Recovery, Safe Mode, and Command Prompt.
  
• 
  Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > System Restore,
  and then check if you have a restore point.
  
• 
  In the list of available restore points, choose the date prior to the issue. Steps can be found in this article on
  how to perform a System Restore. Refer to Restore from a system restore point.
  

If the steps above fails, we suggest that you boot your computer in Safe Mode (while in the Recovery Environment) and see if it helps. Follow the steps below on how
to boot in Safe Mode:

• 
  Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings and click Restart.
  
• 
  Upon restart, click/press 4 to boot into Safe Mode.
  

If Safe Mode does not work, we may need to Reset your computer. Follow the steps below:

• 
  Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Reset this PC.
  
• 
  Choose to keep all your files and applications. This will re-install Windows 10 whilst keeping your data and applications.
  

Update us after you perform the steps.

 

Cannot Format HD


Need to initialize it as GPT disk type with HD > 2TB:
From Admin command prompt:

1. diskpart
2. list disk =====> Take a note of disk # for the 4TB HD
3. select disk # ====> From step 2
4. clean
5. exit

Open Disk Management and initialize the disk as GPT, create simple then format.
