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

    ... 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.

     

    Thank you very much

    This has worked for me, simple but a perfect solution to the problem.

    On some un-initialized disks disk part and disk manager have a problem initializing a disks as MBR. I seem to remember WinNT 4.x initialially had a simular problem... Thanks for reminding me of the solution...

    ###NOTE### - Here is the error I had on Win7 with a new un-initialized disk...

    Microsoft DiskPart version 6.1.7600

    Copyright (C) 1999-2008 Microsoft Corporation.

    On computer: ZEUS

    DISKPART> select disk 1

    DISKPART> list disk

    Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt

    Disk 0 Online 596 GB 0 B *

    Disk 1 Online 596 GB 596 GB

    DISKPART> convert mbr

    DISKPART> create partition primary SIZE=100 OFFSET=1

    Virtual Disk Service error: The operation timed out. DiskPart has referenced an object which is not up-to-date. Refresh the object by using theRESCAN command. If the problem persists exit DiskPart, then restart DiskPart or restart the computer.

    Here was the fix... This was done on a I can now also create partions with the Disk Management GUI.

    DISKPART> select disk 1

    DISKPART> list disk

    Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt

    Disk 0 Online 596 GB 0 B *

    Disk 1 Online 596 GB 596 GB

    DISKPART> clean

    DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk.

    DISKPART> convert gpt

    DiskPart successfully converted the selected disk to GPT format.

    DISKPART> convert mbr

    DiskPart successfully converted the selected disk to MBR format.

    DISKPART> create partition primary size=100 offset=1

    DiskPart succeeded in creating the specified partition.

    LIFE IS NOW GOOD! Thanks again...

    i did this and now i lost the whole 2TB Hdd

    anyone kind enough to guide me how to undo this?

    Thanks a lot!
