    Not initialised


    Hello

    I have installed (I think) XP virtual on my Win 10 PC. Should I be able to see it here, please, under My PC:

    I do get a message to this effect when I click on my Windows XP file:


    Not initialised [​IMG]


    I am not sure how to proceed.

    Thank you for any advice.

    Steve

    :)

    1809 Update Stuck on Initialising

    I have an HP laptop (I3 processor 4MB ram - Kaspsersky anti virus turned off for the update currently on Windows Version 1803 - OS17134.471). The 1809 Feature Update has started but my update message has said it is initialising for over three hours. (
    I have a very slow internet connection of 1.8 Mbs). The router lights suggest something is happening but this seems very long compared to previous big updates which usually initialise quickly and then take ages to download). Do I need to be patient or is
    something wrong?

    Recover Data on Not Initialised external HDD

    I replaced the the PCB on a Toshiba 1TB External HDD as the USB connection dislodged, paying careful attention to the part details:

    MQ01UBD100 Toshiba PCB G3448A - $48.00 - HDDzone.com.

    There is about 300GB of data on the disk and was working perfactley.

    Ironic thing is that the disk is my backup disk for photos, docs etc

    I have a DELL Latitude E6540 running Windows 10.

    • Disk Management lists it as Disk 1 Unknown // Not Initialised // "Device is not ready" after trying to initialise it in both MBR and GBT.
    • Device Manager lists in Disk Drives as working properly, Drivers up to date etc. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it.
    • Disckpart// list disc as an Administrator in CMD will show it as Online but 0 ZERO bites.
    • I have removed and inserted the CMOS battery.
    I suspect I have see the "White Gloved" people who will charge me an arm and a leg for data recovery?

    Is there anybody in Microsoft land that can assist with an alternative.

    Greatly appreciated.

    Not initialised

    My USB Flash drive cannot be initialised and it is now ready only in current state

    hi Jay followed your steps to run disk management as admin and the problem is still that the initialise option is greyed out.
