Windows 10: My main hard drive the one C:\ is on is showing as raw

My main hard drive the one C:\ is on is showing as raw. I did a bunch of diagnostic things, including chkdsk, and I think that may have messed things up. I reassigned the drive letters back to the correct ones what was supposed to be C had somehow become D, but I can't find any way of indicating that the drive is not raw. The partitions are all there according to DISKPART Recovery 300mb, System 100mb, Reserved 128mb, Primary 237gb, Recovery 663mb, I just want to find some way to get the laptop to recognize that the drives are not really raw.

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.
