Partition **** Disk #0, Partition #0

Partition **** Disk #0, Partition #1

Partition Size **** 361.33 GB (387,979,805,696 bytes)

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

Having the same issue with a Corsair Flash Padlock 4GB drive, it works perfectly in my Win7 Pro x64 laptop, but the workstation (running exactly the same OS) doesn't recognise the drive properly. When I first plugged it into the machine last night it actually caused a BSoD, so something is definitely screwed up. Is there a newer driver to the MS 2006 driver that's installed automatically for USB flash drives?

I had the same problem

I get a tool called Acronis Disk Director Suite

setup the software then open it

right click on the partition without letter > Advanced > Convert

choose NTFS and if the partition is primary choose logical and vice versa

then apply changes

after that right click on the same partition > Change Letter

ALL YOUR DATA IS SAFE NO NEED TO PANIC

Though this answer is great if your disk has already been **initialized,**I believe most of us here have the problem when the computer is first initializing the disk. For me I was prompted to select MBR or GPT to first enable the disk. Naturally I chose MBR and then the problem began. With every following attempt to select MBR I would recieve the error as posted. I have found the resolution to be much simpler than a command line.

****This should only be done with blank drives, or drives you do not care if data is lost******
1. In the Disk Management Console right click on the un-initialized disk (EG 'Disk 2), and select Initialize .
2. When prompted to chose MBR or GPT, select GPT .
3. The computer will accept this disk type and initialize the drive. DONOT FORMAT THE DRIVE AT THIS TIME
4. Right click on the Disk again (EG 'Disk 2) and select Convert to MBR .
5. You can then create and format the partition. However because of the drive conversion it is unlikely you will be able to run a quick format.
I hope this is helpful to at least a few.
