You are the ultimate laptop lifesaver because I was ready to that big computer shop in the sky. I have literally been searching KZbin for months trying to get this thing to recognize my external harddrive. Stuck in "disk 1 unknown not initialized." You are my number one go to guy from now on. Thanks you much!

Hello Wes, honestly of the various presentation in regard to this topic, the one that was the best was yours WES. The problem is that unfortunately after assigning the letter "C" and trying to boot the drive it failed. Message received from a DELL 3020 was as per the DELL PRE BOOT ASSEMENT = NO HARD DRIVE FOUND...... Do you have an idea of what may have happened.

i need help on how to format a hard disk like the one showing disk###

[@richardpalmanteer9798]

Hey, I'm using DISKPART CLEAN, and it says Virtual Disk Service Error:There is no media in device. What should I do in this case?

[@richardpalmanteer9798]

Hey, unable to format micro sd card shows "The media is write protected" Now what do I do?

[@DCart007]

Why is it saying that no volume is selected when trying to format. When I do a list volume it only shows volume 0 which is my internal hard drive. Thanks

[@ITProTv]

When using diskpart it is important that you use the right order, first run the create partition primary command on the appropriate disk, then select the partition with select partition , next format the partition with format fs=ntfs label= quick. Then run the assign letter= command. When this is finished you should be able to run the list volume command and identify the volume you have created and formatted. If you are only seeing a single volume and require additional volumes, you might need to run the shrink command in diskpart to create additional free space.
