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, cannot initialize disk device 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 HDD unable to initialize external hard drive i/o error 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 not

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 aro

Windows 7: Cannot initialise HDD keep getting I/O Error...? 01 Jun 2012 #1 KUDOSS Windows Vista 64-Bit 5 posts Cannot initialise HDD keep getting I/O Error...? I'm in a very hard drive odd situation that I think the HDD is toast... but I need a second opinion because I've tried just about everything I know and it will not kick into life. that makes matters even worse. The BIOS shows the channel and port and detects the HDD. DiskPart can see the HDD as well and I run a quick format which was successful...? This is where unable to initialize I get lost. If DiskPart can see the HDD and you can format the HDD than, there is communication via data cable and PWR to the HDD is there otherwise you wouldn't be able to format the HDD would you. There are things that I haven't tried yet... running Seatools in DOS such better for fault finding. changed the data cable and the PWR SATA cables. any other suggestions would be appreciated .
