I went to do something with partition magic (it recognized something with the pointers I believe, so I allowed it to automatically fix the error) and now I'm not even able to access Partition Disk #0, Partition #1 which is a drive that I used to store data (No OS).  It doesn't appear in 'My Computer', but does appear in Disk Management but it doesn't seem like I can do anything with it besides delete the partition.  There's a lot of data that I have stored and I don't want to lose it all.

I used a partition tool to find out what sectors each of the partitions are starting at and for one of them it's sector 15 and the other it is sector 33.  I'm not sure if that has any significance to my problem, but just thought I'd let it be known.

I solved this problem by going into device manager and uninstalling the usb drivers. Then when I plugged the hard drive back in it reinstalled the driver and worked.

Hello trichard13,

Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers Community.

Try using diskpart to assign a drive letter to Disk #0, Partition #1.

·          Click Start Orb > type diskpart

·          Right-click diskpart in results above > click Run as administrator

·          Once diskpart loads type list volume, press enter

You should notice that you will see your partition that you use for your data, it should not show a drive letter assigned to it.

·          Type select volume 6 **** (replace 6 with the volume number assigned to the partition in question)

·          Type assign letter Z (replace Z with the letter that you want to assign to it)

When you look in Computer, you should be able to see your partition.

Hope this helps

    Dear Chris

    Thanks for you advise. But when I am typing list volume in the diskpart, I am not seeing all other partitions in my HDD. I have 4 partitions in my HDD and now I am seeing only the C drive. Please help. I have loads of data in other partitions specially my work files.

    Thanks

    Mydul

    ... While messing with diskpart in an attempt to solve my problem I noticed AUTOMOUNT in the list of commands.  This command "enables and disables the automatic mounting of basic volumes."  On my system, automount was turned off.  After enabling it using the command, I found my remote hard drive in the device manager, and uninstalled the driver.  Unplugging and plugging the drive caused the computer to again install the driver, but this time it mounted it in My Computer as well.  Now my device was visible in said location, but for some reason my access was denied.  I resolved this by enabling sharing under the advanced sharing tab in the device properties.  Problem solved.  I can now use the drive and did not have to use disk management or format anything.

    Yay! This worked for me using Windows 7! Here is the step by step version:

    1. From RUN, type diskpart and click OK
    2. At the DISKPART prompt, type automount
    3. From the Device Manager , find the device not being recognized. Mine was under Storage Devices, I think.
    4. Right click on the device and choose Properties
    5. Click on the Driver tab
    6. Click Uninstall
    7. Unplug the device
    8. Plug the device back in

    The driver was automatically installed, it's mounted to My Computer and I immediately got the AutoPlay window.

    That worked for me!! Thanks so much. We migrated our SQL server to vmware from hyperv and lost the volume. With your fix we managed to get back my SQL backup drive.

    Hello Santosh,

    Please try this method i tried before and it worked, i had the same error windows pop up.

    "after days struggle with my new external HDD Touro 1 tb doesn't appear in disk management, diskpart list volumes, or my computer at all. Only appear in device manager under ""other device".

    And error message after plug in my toshiba C650 laptop is "no driver found"

    i pluged in another computer and all appear fine, i went thru all solutions possible i found in google such as Diskpart, change drive letter , format, delete volumes, create new simple volumes, (error message "The operation failed to complete because the Disk Management console view is not up-to-date.  Refresh the view by using the refresh task.  If the problem persists close the Disk Management console, then restart Disk Management or restart the computer. ) Then i tried AOMEI, Mini tool partition wizard Technician edition, mini tool partition wizard home edition, update BIOS, chipset, windows etc  and a lot of soluntion............................................................ NO LUCK

    I then try this:

    1. plug HDD into another computer, let it install driver and auto play windows all appear. then i went to C

    C:\windows\system 32\

    then i copied 3 folders: driverstore, DRVSTORE, and drivers.

    into usb stick.

    then i copied these 3 into my toshiba laptop.(rename 3 folders so doesnt duplicate drivers1 for example)

    C:\windows\system 32\

    1. Device manager-other device-right click-update driver-choose Browse my compute for driver software, browse into

    C:\windows\system 32\ the enter let it find driver. and install

    Then my Touro appear in Disk drives in Device manager  Yayyy

    BUT STILL NOT APPEAR IN MY COMPUTER

    Then i go to other device, right click on unknown device, choose update driver, browse to

    C:\windows\system 32\ again,

    let it install

     after that it appear in my computer.

    Yayyyy

    thats how it happen, i am not sure one of the solution above has fix my problem. I did use Mini tool partition wizard Technician edition to change letter of my drive.

    but it suddenly works, iam over the moon.
