    I'm running windows 10 on an alienware R8. It no longer sees the 2 hard drives that I have in it. Would an upgrade to Windows 11 let the computer "see" and access those drives? Could this be a BIOS issue? I keep windows updated and Dell's "Support Assist" as well. Thanks for any help that you can provide!

    File History no longer sees internal hard drive

    Hi Derek,

    Thank you for being part of Microsoft Community.

    If you are unable to see that drive, I would suggest you to check if it listed in Disk Management utility. Refer to these steps:



    a) Press
    Windows key +X, select Disk management.

    b) In the new Window, check if the E drive is listed.

    c) If it is not listed, please check if you are able to see any other partition with a different letter assigned to it or if there is any other partition
    with unallocated space.



    Please get back to us with this information so that we can assist you further.

    Internal hard drive

    I have an internal hard drive, that I installed over a year ago. It is no longer listed in "This Computer. " It is only a year or 2 old. before I replace it is there a way to look for it in file management. Maybe a windows update changed a setting?

    Windows no longer recognizes second internal hard drive

    Why is it both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 no longer recognize a second internal hard drive?

    Previously in both my Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 PC’s, I had an internal second drive connected in each PC and both worked quite well. In the case of the Windows 8.1 PC, I used to use the second internal drive to do system image backups and the second
    internal hard drive in the Windows 10 PC as a File History drive.

    But now, in both PC’s, the internal second drives are no longer being recognized. Both File History and System Image backup now only work when drives are connected externally.

    If the second hard drives are connected internally, this error message comes up : "Operating system not found" on the Windows 8.1 PC and "no usable hard drives found" for File History on the Windows 10 PC.

    Surely that should not be the case? What could be the cause?
