  2. SSD not initialized and unable to initialize

    There could be several reasons due to which ‘Disk Unknown Not Initialized’ error message may occur, which are mentioned as following:
    Corrupt/ Incompatible/Outdated Driver, MBR Corruption, Missing or lost partition, Bad Sectors in hard drive, Corrupt File System etc. To solve this problem we apply some fundamental manual steps like: update the device driver,
    Rebuild the MBR boot, initialized disk, assign a drive letter, Run CHKDSK command and Run diskpart utility.

    To initialized the disk go to Disk management > and locate the drive that not initialized > the drive will show unallocated. > select unallocated disk > Right click on it > click initialized disk > select
    between GPT > Click OK.

    Once the process is done, you will redirected to main windows and check you can access it or not.

    SSD not initialized and unable to initialize

    I have 3 disks on my desktop : 1 M.2 disk (boot disk) , 1 SSD drive and 1 HDD drive . Everything was working well until yesterday i was unable to access some files on the SSD drive . After restarting the computer the SSD drive doesn't appeared anymore
    .

    In disk management appears as "Disk 1 - Unknown - Not initialized" . When i click to initialize i got the error "A device which does not exist was specified." . What can be the cause of this ? How can i initialize the drive ?

    Read Unknown, Not Initialized SSD

    wed can reformatting ssd

    Hello Allen,

    It seems that you're SSD is in a read-only state. Read-only is the same as write-protected.

    As an initial troubleshooting, I suggest that you follow the steps provided by Angela Pun which helped a lot of community members in this
    thread.
    Make sure to select the SSD drive.

    If the issue still persists, please follow these steps on how to format a write-protected SSD using Command Prompt.

    1. Press the Windows key + R. A run dialog box will open.
    2. Type CMD then press Enter.
    3. Type diskpart
    4. Type list volume
    5. Type select volume # ( # is the number of USB HDD you've plugged in)
    6. Type attributes disk clear
      read-only
    7. Type clean

    If you have additional questions, or if the issue persists after the troubleshooting steps above, please let me know by replying to this thread. This way, I'll get notified and respond back to you as soon as I can.
