  1. SSD isn't showing up on file explorer or disk management


    I've gotten two sata to usb adapters for windows and none of them are automatically detected when i plug it in. I looked up countless troubleshoots but they're all saying to open disk management to initialize the drive but it doesn't appear in disk management or file explorer. All that shows up is my internal ssd. The ssd I'm trying to initialize/detect is a "Western Digital AV-GP WD5000AVDS 500GB 32MB Cache 5400RPM SATA II 3.0Gb/s 3.5 Internal Hard Drive".

  2. SSD isnt showing up on file explorer but is showing up on disk manager

    I bought an SSD and installed it today to use as my new main storage device while keeping my current hdd. I initialized it on the disk manager and gave it a letter and everything, but it won't show up on file explorer. It shows that there's 356mb used on it despite me not downloading anything on it due to the fact that it wont show up on file explorer.

    edit: when i plug it in and out a "Local Disk (DSSD isn't showing up on file explorer or disk management :)" file appears that i need to go to the 'security tab' for

  3. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

  4. SSD isn't showing up on file explorer or disk management

    SSD isn't showing up on file explorer, but is showing up on disk manager. Can't do anything about it.

    My new 2TB ssd is not showing up on file explorer, but is showing up on disk manager as an online disk.

    I can't delete any partitions nor can i format them. It simply says it's unexistent.

    I tried going to diskpart to clean the disk, but it says that an unexistent disk was specified.
