    Win10 and external HDD partiton: diskmgmt.msc says partition without fault yet file...


    Hi, I am using Windows 10 Home on my multiboot* Notebook without problem and I use an external HDD for Data backup. There are 4 partitions on this Toshiba HD. 3 of them are clearly visible with file explorer, one of them (EXT BACK) not, though this partition shows no fault with partition manager (diskmgmt.msc). This partition is also clearly visible in Linux Lubuntu.


    For years, I could manage partition EXT BACK with file explorer, the problem occurred only recently.


    What can I do please?


    Thanks,


    win8cub


    P.S. *: multiboot: Win10, Lubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 18.04, Debian 10

    :)

    External HDD Partitions

    I have an external HDD. It had multiple partitions. I removed partitions with this procedure: Press the "Start" button, type "diskmgmt.msc" and press "Enter." 3. Right-click the existing partition on the external hard drive, select "Delete Volume" and
    choose to remove the partition. I did this to remove all partitions and NOW the computer doesn't recognize the drive in file explorer. What can I do?

    External Drive Not Recognized By BIOS

    Hi,

    External hard drives doesn't need drivers because of their simple plug and play design. To better assist you with your concern, please answer the following questions below:

    • When you try to go to disk management? Does the hard drive show?
    To run Disk Management:

    • Press Windows + R, a run dialog box will show up.
    • type diskmgmt.msc, then press Enter.
    • Have you tried using your External HDD to another computer?

    We'll be waiting for your response.
