    Windows Setup does not detect the hard disk


    Hello,I have a correctly-working computer that I want to reformat and install Windows from scratch. I have a Windows 10 USB that I use to reformat computers. When I boot from it, Windows Setup won't detect any disk. But if I boot from the hard disk, the current installation of Windows comes up fine.I have seen the answer here Windows 10 clean install unable to detect hard drive URGENT - Microsoft Community about using DISKPART and DISKPART only shows one 8 GB disk the setup disk, I assume.The Windows installation had BitLocker on and I turned it off. I waited for the decryption before rest

    :)

    External Hard disk detect issue

    Hello,

    Let's determine the reason why your Windows 10 stopped detecting your external hard disk. To get started, we'd like to get the following information:

    • Did you make any changes to your computer prior to the issue?
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • Have you tied connecting the external hard disk to a different computer? If yes, is it working?

    In the meantime, let's run Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter. This troubleshooter automatically detects and resolves problem with hardware and devices. To do so, please follow these steps:

    • Open Control Panel.
    • Select View by: Small icons.
    • Open Troubleshooting.
    • Under Hardware and Sound, run Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.

    We're looking forward to your response.
