    Cannot access disk despite disk showing on diskmgmt


    I'm trying to access files left on a drive with Ubuntu installed on it. However, when trying to access it through explorer, the disk doesn't appear. This is despite the disk appearing on Disk Manager, which means Windows does acknowledge the drive's existence.When selecting the main partition, the only options available are to delete it and the help option.The partition seems to use either exFAT or NTFS. The drive uses GPT

    :)

    diskpart doesn't show disk

    Hey,

    I am trying to install Win10 on a mac book air.

    However the diskpart does not list the disk even after reformatting the partition as NTFS per suggestion.

    read through this solution but cannot move to step 1 listed in the solution by Ivan as that disk doesn't see that partition it was just able to reformat.

    Regards

  3. Disk management console view is not up-to-date

    i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




    open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


    enter in
    DISKPART
    list disk

    then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
    type in

    Select Disk 7
    List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
    Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
    ASSIGN


    that should get the array up and running ready to use.


    EDITED.

    any problems, post back ^^


    Still EDITING *Stick Out Tongue Cannot access disk despite disk showing on diskmgmt :p

    side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

    Clean install, disk usage at 100%

    I've seen that article. and I am in fact not running that driver. I followed the steps and it does not appear in the list.
