![]() ![]() In the middle towards the bottom locate the disk number from earlier.This will allow us to view the drive’s health. Now click on Disk Management on the left hand side.Document the disk number provided in this window (Disk 1, Disk 2, etc…).Right click on your external drive listed under Disk Drives.If you see the drive is detected here continue reading. First check the Disk Drives section in the middle window by double-clicking it.On your keyboard, hold the Windows Key ( ) down and press R.If using a USB adapter, try connecting it without the adapter or use a different adapter.įor advanced troubleshooting steps select your operating system:Ĭheck both Device Manager and Disk Management in the Computer Management console:.If using a surge protector or power strip, plug the power adapter directly into the wall outlet instead.(Desktop Drives).No light could indicate the power adapter is not connected to power. Desktop Drives typically require a power adapter. Try using the drive on a different computer.If possible, try using a different cable.Try connecting the drive to a different port on the computer.If your external hard drive is not accessible please try these basic troubleshooting steps first. The external hard drive itself, under normal circumstances, should be detected by your operating system, without the need of drivers, software, or firmware updates. While it is possible that your external hard drive may have come with bundled software that may be incompatible with newer operating systems, this is typically just ‘back up’ software, and the drive is not dependent on that software to function. Those warnings are OK to acknowledge but of course we still want to see the results of the extended test on disk1.There are several reasons why an external hard drive may not be accessible or detected when you connect it to your computer. Not all connection problems will show up there because if it isn't getting any data it can't check the consistency.Ī small number of Reallocated is usually fine since disks are designed to have some spare sectors for that purpose. Basically it means the data it received was inconsistent. If you Acknowledge it, and it comes back, then you know it has gotten worse.ĬRC Errors are connection issues and not really a disk problem, but the disk counts these and keeps the count in its firmware. No point in letting a Warning just sit there and not do anything at all about it. Once acknowledged, it will not warn you again unless it changes. If it is not serious enough, you Acknowledge it by clicking on it in the Dashboard. If it is serious enough you replace the disk.
