Can't Initialize Disk Incorrect Function
mark of some kind (very hard for my eyes to see) and the word "unknown" under Disk1. In addition, 'not initialized' is under the unknown notification. Right click on the disk and choose Initialize Disk. The pop up shows Disk 1 as checked and the radio button for MBR is pushed. Clicking "OK" produces the error "Incorrect Function" - which is what baffles me. windows initialize disk incorrect function How can it be an incorrect function if it is the only one selected?

However, the drive does show up under the device management (first attached pic) Under the disk management screen it pops up telling me i need to initialize the drive (second attached pic) I then click ok on the http://www.sevenforums.com/hardware-devices/265912-wd-1tb-ext-hdd-will-not-initialize-incorrect-function.html correct option (for under 2TB drive) and i get this error/failure (third attached pic) after that closes i can right click the drive in the same screen and the initialize is now grayed out and i cant click on it (fourth attached pic) So here's what i have done... Tried reformatting it in command prompt...(fifth attached pic)...cant create partition primary...im assuming because the drive is not initialized what is my next step? data being lost is no biggie, BUT if it can be saved easily, my friend says there are a few pics he would like to get off of it, but if not, he is not worried about it.

Today when I plugged it in to my new notebook that is running Windows 8.1 now, it doesn't detect my hard drive. I also tried on other notebook and it has the same issue. So I know the problem is most likely on the hard drive. Using Command Prompt, it says Disk 1's status is "Online", but incorrect function size is "0". Here is the status at Computer Management: Disk 1 Unknown Not Initialized I also tried to Initialize on MBR, but it returned me with "Incorrect function." message. I tried "Troubleshoot" and the result says: "USB Mass Storage Device is an older USB device and might not work with USB 3.0 Plug the device into an available USB 2.0 port..." My notebook has 3 USB ports where according to the manual, 2 of them initialize disk incorrect are backward compatible to 2.0... I tested on each, but it is still not working. What should I do? Although I have not been using it for a while, I wish to check the content first before formatting it. I might have some forgotten, yet important files within. Thanks in advance. Hope I can be assisted here. Attached Thumbnails Last edited by MelissaM; 20 Apr 2014 at 12:10.

I share a USB cable between them, when I need to use one I unplug the cable and plug it into the other HDD. I went on holiday, my computer was off for 3 weeks. Came back and now one of my HDD is not working (Model listed above). I went to computer management and checked device manager: - Disk Drives : LaCie Hard Drive USB Device - Universal Serial Bus controllers : USB Mass Storage Device is plugged in. Storage/Disk Management: Disk 5 - Unknown - Not Initialized when I try to initialize it. Incorrect Function error appears. This isn't a new HDD, I've used it for roughly 3 years it serves as a Backup Device. It is very worrying that my backup device would crash or fail or whatever the problem is.
