I don't think I've ever had something run as poorly for no reason as the partition assistant did, anytime I clicked on disk surface test it did nothing and would almost crash constantly even when I wasn't doing anything on it
this is NOT a freeware. You will install, then it will show up the windows screen to proceed on acquiring an extremely expensive license to run with it.
For me when opening disk management, its not opening. Just showing opening Virtual Disk Service. Once it got opened, then I tried MBR for initialization, also GPT...in both cases semaphore time out happened...what to do...need help guys
Thanks so much for your tutorial, but unfortunately it didn't help. I was looking for a solution for my 2TB Seagate Portable HD which stopped working. It's beeping and it shows "not initialized" plus "unallocated" on Disk Management. Also, Disk Management doesn't show its capacity properly, like it was 134217728 GB. When checking it on AOMEI Partition Assistant, it shows 0KB and 0 partition. The program shows an error message when trying to recover this disk. Nothing happens when I click on "surface test".
I have this same exact problem with same weird capacity number for the same external Seagate 2TB HD. If you've figured out a solution, please let me know.
@@AruanaACN I tried taking the portable shell off the HDD itself where the sata and power outlets are now exposed but I think I may have messed it up more. It won't even be detected on any level now and instead gives a beeping sound. Be very careful in taking the HDD out if you choose to do it. It was more difficult than I thought it would be. I haven't yet :( The only solution I think is to send it in for an expensive repair. I'm considering Luis Rossman because they seem the most honest.
The details help me, though my part when I tried to do the disk management part when I tried to do the MBR part gave me a "Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)" message and I'm not sure how to fix that part.
Actually my disk was showing in disk management. I used CMD was creating partition to get initialise it. But suddenly power cut off happend so everything got shut. Now after my windows turns on it is not showing hard drive in it which I have connected through usb port. What to do Can't understand???
Hi, My External 4TB Hard drive shows ''unknown'' and ''not initialised'' . It doesn't show anything on the volume. It doesn't show on ''This PC'' . It indicates '''Data error(cyclic redundancy check'' when i try to initialise. Kindly help.
Guide is nice but unfortunately none worked for me. When i try "Situation 2 - Method 2 Check Bad Sectors" it doesnt do anything. For other working drives surface test window opens but no reaction or error for broken drive and previous fixes didnt do anything than pop error every time. Disk part show that drive 5 which is broken one is online but nothing works. I've tryed couple of things in that app of yours and it replyed with errors 6 and 45 and i got nothing. One thing i didnt try is switching to another cable but since i dont have any other cables to try im boned on that one for now. Im gonna try accessing that drive from windows install program and i might try rebooting into that screen where you set up for windows safe mode (good old times when it was accessed by F8 right after bios) tomorrow but something tells me that wont work either, i guess that 2TB external drive is gone for now.
So I converted the disk and plan to move the os to ssd so I can boot from it and save other data on hdd, I cloned successfully with partition assistant.
When you try to initialize a hard drive via Disk Management and receive an error message such as “This request cannot be completed because of an I/O device error” or “The device is not ready”, the usual cause is that there is something wrong with the hard drives connection cable. You should adjust the drive's connection cable and try to initialize it again. Where possible, we recommend connecting the hard drive to another computer to see whether it is able to be detected and initialized.
After Initiliazing my external hard disk and trying to convert it either to MBR or GPT, it gives me an error: "The request failed due to a fatal device hardware error" - what to do now?
Thank you so much I solved my issue... Once you see online right click on your disk then create a new partition select xFAT then next... OS: Windows 11 Drive: SanDisk SSD Plus 1 TB
This video itself was great, with crystal clear instructions. I especially liked how you gave the time to start for the individual problems. However, I downloaded your software and it wouldn't do anything when I clicked on surface test. So it was all for naught. Thanks anyway.
I really appreciate sharing this I’ve been trying to connect my drive back to my pc after I had connected to my Xbox. Can you also suggest any videos about connecting a external to any Xbox consoles but to include recognizing the drive back to the pc? It would surely help a lot
Kindly reply My disk showing zero bytes in cmd chkdsk. Not showing in pc Not initialized in dsc mngmnt trying to inialized but say .fatal hardware error In cmd wmic get drive status showing ok.
So I dropped my EHD earlier today and didn’t think much of it. It’s wasn’t that bad a fall but it’s showing this error and I’m trying to figure out why it’s not readable. The cord works fine and it’s showing power but it isn’t doing the blinking thing as it’s starting up. It’s just staying on powered on.

When I tried initializing in diskmgt shows an i/o device error on my external drive (luckily). Will rebuilding mbr get the disk back online with all the data intact though.. if not, whats a good unpaid data recovery software
AOMEI doesn't worked, tried click surface test and nothing pops up - also at the end of the video you didn't bother to explain what to do next after getting the data from the surface test?
The surface test can only tell you if there are any bad sectors on the disk, then use the check partition to fix them but the physical damage cannot be repaired.
I used the aomei backupper. While cloning it all my os from hdd to the new ssd. Then it happens to be uninitialise and unable to do anything to the ssd. I need help
Mine is plugged in shows up in my bios and then doesn’t show up in disk management at all. No videos online help with this problem when it gets this bad
lol... nice explanation... not gonna say otherwise... but nothing happened... i tried all solutions on your video and 0 nothing happened the worst part its that i just bought the hard drive so yeah... cant understand why its doing this
You can check if there are bad sectors on the disk causing the issue. In Partition Assistant, right-click on the drive that is not showing space, choose Advanced - Check Partition - Check whether... - OK
The device is not ready error may occur when you attempt to access data from the hard drive. The external storage device is not well connected like the device is loosely connected to the computer, the connector is broken, or the USB port is damaged.
My problem is that every time i connect my external hard to my laptop its partitions is unallocated then i make a partion but disconnecy my hard drive and then connect to laptop i will again unallocated plz solve my problem 😢
There is nothing to do.. My WD hard drive is gone.. Too many damages check with AOMEI PA.. How can i do? I don't want to lose data that is very important for my life.. Would you help me please?
