I have been storing photos on the drive for 6 months, then one day it would no longer pop-up. Was anybody able to find a fix for this without losing your files? If so, how did that go? I need to recover the data and repair the drive if possible, is there a solution? It seems a recurring theme If you try to initialize it or change it to online you get I/O device error.
#Cannot initialize drive drivers
The drivers are all installed and it physically connects and seems to function normally.īut I can’t see the drive on explorer or access the data thru Disc Management.

I have a WD my passport external drive, on connecting to USB port, it is recognized under “remove media” and it can be seen on Disc Management pane, but it is listed as Disc 1, Type Unknown and Status Not initialized. 2) I am also noticing that I am unable to play any DVDs on my machine, even after installing the necessary codecs (Intervideo WinDVD6) 3) In addition, the standby button in the shutdown options is not available - it has been greyed out.

I then couldnt see the drive when I went to install Windows again. I have the same problem, was working yesterday is not today, On the 2nd step of the installation it was stuck at 0 for 30mins so I cancelled it. I would LOVE to get my movies back since, you know, I’m in Afghanistan, but I guess I would settle for an operational HD. I am currently in Afghanistan, so my options are pretty limited, but I do have internet access. Same error on all the laptops I have tried to plug into the past 2 days to fix it. The disk is not initialized, and when I try to initialize it or turn it online, the error message "the request could not be performed because on an I/O device error. It shows up in safe removal and disk management. The light blinks on the drive, but the drive does not spin, or at least feel or sound like it does.

#Cannot initialize drive update
My other hard drive works just fine in the same USB ports, I have tried all ports, I have tried flashing my BIOS, I have tried using programs like HD sentinel, I have tried to update the firmware and drivers (firmware update won’t even start,) I have tried unistalling drivers, rebooting, and let them reinstall as soon I plug it in. I let a friend borrow the drive to watch a movie, and when he returned it, it won’t work on my or his laptop anymore. Update: I downloaded and ran SeaTools and it doesn't detect the drive so I'm unable to scan it.Įdited by SinisterMatti, 15 November 2015 - 12:11 PM.I purchased the external HD about a month ago, and loaded with my excess files from my 2TB. If anyone has any other ideas, I'd really appreciate it.
#Cannot initialize drive software
It would be an amazing coincidence if the sata connector on the laptop just happened to go back while reinstalling an OS, so I'm leaning toward some kind of software issue. I'll try running seatools, but since the drive works on my desktop, it stands to reason that it's not a hdd issue. Unfortunately I can't try a different sata port on the laptop as I only have the one free. I just pulled the hdd out of the laptop and installed it in my desktop and everything works perfectly in my desktop. So there is a partition, and windows is still saying uninitialized. After deleting the old partition, formatting, and creating the new partition It still shows uninitialized in disk management. You may want to attach the drive to a different SATA port if possible.Įdit: There was not any data you needed on the 500GB disk was there? If so, they I would stop and you need to recover the data if possible after deleting the partition on the 500GB drive. DiskInternals Partition Recovery offers several options in this situation: you can simply restore all inaccessible data to the disk and save it on new media. There was an existing partition on the drive and Windows still said it was unintialized?ĭownload Seatools for Windows and run the long and short test. Before starting to initialize the drive on Windows 10, use DiskInternals Partition Recovery to open the disk, restore its data or create a disk image.
But, you said you deleted an old partition. What error does Partition Wizard give? Does it create the partition or does it fail? If Partition Wizard did complete the partition and format, are you saying it still shows as uninitialized in Disk Management?Ī disk that asks to be initialized is usually a clean unformatted disk.
