@@akhileshchinta7900mine shows up unknown in the disk management then when I go to device management it’s fine do triangle with the arrow and I click on the device and it shows up it’s working properly but won’t show up on anything
what do I do if my extra hard drive doesn't even show up in disk management? I don't understand this is a new hard drive had it only working for a few weeks and all I did was close down the pc and suddenly stop working once I turned it on again
Same issue with me... Mine is a Seagate 2TB Hard Disk which worked perfectly fine and had stored around 100 GB of media but now it's not readable all of a sudden... Formatting the disk is not an option for me
If you guys are on the shitter just like me (harddrive does not even show up on Disk Management on another computer) you might still be able to save the data by opening/break gently the harddisk case and insert it into a harddisk USB docking station. It might just be that the harddisk controller has been fried, but that the disk itself is fine.
Dude. I just wanted to express my utmost gratitude for you man. I've been restless with this issue and thought that I accidentally destroyed my new hard drive or something. I wish more tutorial videos follow you as an example. Concise, precise and effective overall. Much appreciated man.
Hey, man, listen I really thought my hard drive was broken, but with your insightful help I managed to get it back up with my computer. I really can't thank you enough. You're awesome!

I have an external harddrive that i sometimes can see in my computer and sometimes cant. Cant access it or anything. Need to get the files off of it. Any tips on what to try?
I have an external hard drive (internal hdd in an enclosure). I dropped it while it was switched off and unplugged the other week. Since then it has been working OK. Now, today, it isn't working. When I plug it in and go to My Computer, the green loading bar at the top is continuously there. If I right click on the hard drive (now called "Local Disk" then Windows Explorer will crash. It is like the hard drive is making everything hang. I try and run SeaTools or HDTune whilst HDD plugged in but nothing happens (something is blocking??) but when I unplug the hdd immediately both programs will open. I can't use these programs because of this problem, as when I plug it back in it wont find it. When I go into Computer Management and click Disk Management, It does nothing and just says Connecting to virtual Disk Service at the bottom.. But when I unplug it then it opens and shows me my C drive. I cannot also use chdisk because when I am in cmd and i type T: to change to that hard drive, it will hang (nothing happens). Please help mee

Thank you so much! I bought a used external hard drive which was already partitioned, but it still wasn't showing up. I had to delete the original partition in order to try the first method you suggested, but once that was done, I was able to follow your instructions and it worked fine.

Yeah the same thing here I was using my laptop and it was heating and my ele-gate external hard drive disappear when I plug it in again it makes noise and the lights turn on but does not show up I think it's due to the cable or the green thing where you plug. I tried the other laptop to the same thing no working I have about 215 different information it's about music files my pics and other things on it help please thank you!
When I right click on the unallocated it doesn’t let me click new simple drive. Then when I try to initialize it, it gives me “data error( cycle redundancy check)”
@@ivan_valerian If you have previously used it on another device, it will ask you to format the storage, and if you have anything inside the storage, you need to back it up before you format it because you'll lose everything inside of it.
