Hard Drive Not Initialized In Disk Management
Last response: 15 August 2013 17:14 in Storage Share Chattermouth 28 May can't initialize disk windows 7 2009 14:49:26 Hi. So I bought a new HDD, a Samsung HD753LJ. When swapping it with my old one,
Initialize Disk The Device Is Not Ready
the computer didn't work. When adding my old HDD, the old one worked and the new one could not be found. Some time later I've gotten my hands on a external hard drive device not ready HDD Dock where I can connect regular HDD's to the PC via USB. I saw drivers install, and I think I saw external HDD there. I guess the dock makes it an external HDD. Anyways, now I can see the HDD in Disk Management, but it is "Not Initialized". When I attempt to initialize it, an error message states "The device is unable to initialize hard drive i/o error not ready". Does anyone have any ideas how I proceed from here? Anyone know any HDD recovery software that can find a HDD without a drive letter? More about : unable initialize hdd Best solution dallasjoh 29 May 2009 01:20:38 RMA time!! I had the same problem with a WDC HDD and tried everything to get it to initialize but no luck. Send it back for a replacement. Share Paperdoc a c 464 G Storage 29 May 2009 01:35:44 ANY blank new hard drive needs a two-step process to prepare it for use by Windows. I can be done in Windows' Disk Manager. They are Partitioning (create a defined space on the drive to be used) and Formatting (create the root directory and sector allocation tracking structures). Read up on these. Many (including me) have posted detailed instructions here before. Even easier, most HDD makers provide free software utilities for exactly these purposes, because they know every purchaser will need to carry out these operations. If you did not get a CD of tools with the drive, go to the maker's website and look

John RobertsonWritten 108w agoAs the saying goes Avodeji , with difficulty. The problem you describe is not uncommon. Sometimes device not ready it can be fixed and sometimes it can’t. It depends on the details. If you have another copy of the data on the external drive and a Broadband connection then my inclination would be to get rid of the external hard disk and to back up your files in the Cloud – probably Dropbox. There are various other effective Cloud systems.If you have another copy of the data but no Broadband then I’d get a new external drive. A single faulty sector on your present drive can cause the problem you describe. It shouldn’t but it can.If you have important data on the external drive and have no other copy then the solution is harder. There may not be a solution. I hope that is not the case for you. If you have a good local tech shop I’d get their help.If you want to DIY your way to drive health then look at the YouTube video below:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i...This describes the best recovery system and does it well.
