  1. Missing HDD


    I boot into Win10 from an SSD, and save files to a HDD. After attempting some ill advised software changes recently AMD StoreMI removal I have lost the HDD. By which I mean it has disappeared from Explorer, though still shows as a numbered 1 but no letter designation drive in Task Manager and Disk and Device Manager. In Device Manager it appears as Disk 1, Basic, Online, but no partitions show, and Properties lists it as MBR, 0 MB capacity, unallocated space and reserved space. Initialise does not appear as an option. If I attempt to convert to GPT I get "specified disk is not convertible

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.
