Thanks bro you've been a real help😎
Video is very HELPFUL thank you
This video is spot on. At first I even thought I still couldn't figure it out, but I'll BE! Watching this video made it possible. Very well done. My Element WD was showing up as disc 1. I had reformatted it to hold PS4 data, but needed to use it for Windows. Another video said Disk 0 and Disk 1 were usually your PC's C drive and other important stuff so I just had it in my head that I couldn't touch those. Turns out Disk 1 was it and all I had to do was delete the volume on it. Which I am guessing was all the PS4 stuff.
glad it helps, that means a lot to us!!
Wow thanks so much, you rock!

Thank a lot, you're a hero!
Curious. What if my USB ports (3.0 in particular) still works for other devices? In my case, the USB jack for my external HDD is only detected when I plug it into my USB 2.0 port with the notification "There's a problem with the drive. Scan to fix it." Yet the scan isn't able to fix anything. The only time I can see it in Disk Management or Device Manager now is when it's connected to the 2.0 port and there's no exclamation point or any detected issues.
I was able to get it to detect in my 3.0 port for ONE day if I uninstalled it in Device Manager (while it was in the 2.0 port), ejected it, then plugged it in to the 3.0 port.
Thank you so much
Nice info, thanks for sharing it :)
no problem!

Hello. I was only partially able to keep up with you, however, I will watch again to see if it helps.
I have never used a hard drive, this was a gift, so all new.
I’m kinda lost at this point.

Can you help
Tysm saved me buying new drive and adapter
you my new friend are a genius and ah just subscribed... ah thot ma drive was broken
Thanks ❤😊
worked perfectly on my portable hard drive. I've been trying to get it to work for months
When I tried to create a new drive volume I am asked to format the drive but if I do so it will erase all the date in my external drive.Is there any solution to create a new drive volume without formatting the harddisk?
Same as me
How were you able to do it bro
From my perspective your computer is recognizing the device as being attached. Mine is not even going that far.
Yea same problem. No videos on CZcams help
@@REALTEXAN_Hispanic The more I look into "permanent" solutions I'm finding there seems to be little to none for the home consumer. Whether it has moving parts or not they have a life span only you don't know what it is or when it will happen. Unless you're willing to put it in the cloud then be prepared for loss...sigh.
thanks man
I tried so many videos and they did not work for me but urs did 😊
You saved me!!!! You just earned a new subscriber and a thumbs up.
Thanks bro😢❤
I have an external WD 14TB Elements drive and plenty of experience installing new drives. I kept getting errors of "fatal" device error. Couldn't initialize or format. I would shut off and turn back on... nothing.
Then I unplugged the drive from the AC input and plugged it back in, and my PC finally recognized it. As for why it didn't the first time, I have absolutley no idea; but I spent 45 minutes thinking it was probably DOA until 45 seconds ago. This is after trying all my computers USB ports, etc.
When i right click on my device, the “change drive letter” button is greyed out and I can’t select it
Fixed it by just trying a different cable. Happened with my blue yeti as well.
I have two drives that will show up in disk manager but give “device not ready” error when I try to initialize them. Tried everything I can think of or find in CMD. Nothing seems to work.
Same situation 😔
It worked for me thank you so much for this video now I get to play my sims and I have enough space I’m so hype 🎉❤🔥
Whenever I'm connecting my hard drive my computer getting freezed, no hard drive related utility is opening like hdd manager or hard disk sentinel... Everything else works .. hard drive is being recognised by system, a drive letter is also assigned
thank you so muchhhhh
My problem started, after I scanned the ext.HD, which windows reccomended, because there was a supposed problem. After scanning it said everything is okay, but then it didn't read the HD anymore.
I tried out, the things from this video, but it still doesn't help.
Any advise?
Ahh thanks dude, my 500gb file saved thanks to u..
Many thanks
Saved me from this! Thank you so much!
Hi, I cannot click the New Simple Volume button
many thanks it works to me🙏💪😎
thanks
My problem is that in Disk Management I do not have "New Simple Volume" as an option. Instead, I have "Shrink Volume" and "Delete Volume" as options. What should I do?
delete volume and then after that new simple volume will be shown
thankyouuuu
thank u
I have a Mac Mini 2014 and installed the latest Monterey OS....I used a wired key board as recommended......I installed bootcamp and then used my Logitech wired keyboard to use both systems....unbeknown to me my logitech wireless mouse and keyboard prevented me from seeing external drives on Monterey OS.....when I removed the wireless keyboard and attached a generic wired keyboard I could see all the external drives attached to Mac OS.....this drove me nuts
If I do new volume does that mean all the old stuff I had on there will be deleted
ok, I am at a loss here if there is no driver inside my external case but it shows up as genetic what do i do, throw it out the window or by a driver/?
mine usually has an led on when they're connected and even has a pug in sound, but this time it shows none of them :((( I wonder if it's the usb cable or the disk itself that is broken OMG I'm panicking right now. What do you think is happening. it was ok 5 minutes ago when I wanted to ransfer files and suddenly the external driver didnt showed up on the screen..
How do you get new simple volume
This is simular to my prob but not quite. My comupter sees my WD 40ezaz when hooked to my Cinolink adapter but not in anyother setup. Any ideas
My Computer is seeing the hook ups in devices but not the hard drive when in them. Also does that in Disk Man!
You're brilliant however my problem is my Transcend storejet 1tb has data in it and I see it (thanks to you), in Disk Managent. Could you kindly help with a a way I can resolve the issue without formatting it. I cant afford to lose the Data.
Thanks in advance.
Did you try to assign a new drive letter or troubleshoot driver issues? In this way your data will stay safe.
im not sure if im doing anything wrong but i would appreciate any help if it can be offered.
i found some old HDD's that were in some old computers my family had. my dads was still running windows XP because like a stubborn ox he refused to update his hardware. my mothers was eventually upped to windows seven and i think in the last months before she stopped using it updated to windows 8 but never 10. so anyways i have both HDD's which are the 3.5 disk drives that require 12v to function. the newer one (its about 10 years old) is a sata connection and does power on and stay on, but its not showing up in the disk management, and on the device management its also not showing up either. so if i may ask, is there anything im doing wrong? on the second one its slightly older and has the old master/slave/system board cable that computers no longer use. i have an adapter to fit that, but it also doesnt seem to power on though it could be because the adapter doesnt allow for power to flow into the HDD. i wish i knew more but i honestly dont. all im wanting is to get the files off and save them because my family doesnt appreciate the necessity of keeping memories and saving them for later and im the only one trying to fix this. for the newer HDD i can plug it into my computer i believe because i do have space available for it in my desktop, imm just worried my computer is going to try and stop functioning because of it. again any help is greatly appreciated.
didnt want to do an edit, so here is update 1 of hopefully only 1. i switched USB Ports to the ones behind my desktop thinking maybe they would be better, and i was right. my computer now recognizes the newer HDD but its having a very hard time with it. not sure what all is going on but now i need to try the second more older one but im pretty sure its not going to work seeing as how theres still the issue with no power but hey one step at a time right?
My external hard drive works well when I use it in USB 2 but don't work in USB 3. My computer has only USB 3. I bought a USB hub with both USB 2 & 3 and use the external hard drive in USB 2 of that hub. It works fine.
i cant create a new letter is says mbr partition y cant i get my files its an old ide drive i do not want to format the drive ???
what to do when my external hard drive doesn't show at all in the disk management window? thank you
I have a problem : when i open disk manager it just crashes so i can't do nothing about it
It's been 2 years so I don't know if you'll see my comment, but thank you from the bottom of my heart! You don't know how much this video helped me🥺
yeah, I see!! that means a lot to us🥰
