Lean back, look up and shout a profanity reserved for this situation.

I chose to uninstall the driver and the computer restarted automatically with my external hard drive already plugging, and the problem was solved. you just saved the day

[KingDev]

Thankyou so much. I was so upset when my computer wasn't detecting my hard drive anymore. I had it for over 2 years with no issues then all of a sudden it wasn't working properly. Def getting a like.

I tried the cmd line that you mentioned in the video @ 7min 25 sec, but when the corresponding window opens, I receive an error msg stating "Windows Online Troubleshooting Service is disabled Windows Online Troubleshooting Service is not enabled for this version of is really strange because I haven't disabled any of the error reporting or troubleshooter either, I'm good on malware, just did a scan, and it came back clean, sfc /scannow doesn't report any corrupted files either. My windows version is Windows 11 22h2 Build 22621.1635.

Nice video for people to have in their toolbox, to solve HD problems....

[mda]

I'd like to know more about 'dynamic disks' and why sometimes I get this warning when using DIsk Management? I usually back out as I don't want to mess up my computer.

Excellent info and good job, thank you, Brain.

I have a HD in my car for Sat Nav maps ( hidden behind the dash somewhere ). My car no longer see's the drive. Is the problem more likely to be a failed HD or an issue with the cables ? tia.

[Sky-lbvl]

You solved my problem, thank you very much good sir!

I recently had this issue after a windows update on my brand new M.2 which I was using as a boot drive. I'm not sure if M.2 came out of the slot or the windows update broke my bios but we took the drive out looked it over and then reinserted it and it started working again it was bolted in with the M.2 shield originally so it shouldn't have come out of the slot.

Hi Brian, I was thinking of buying one of the mini computers.
How long do they last and which one lasts the longest?

[lamaa]

Thank alot! this video fixed my problem

[chrisamon]

Awesome video, as always! I would love ti see a video on how to add group policy editor in windows 11 home edition using command prompt.

[geraldthorburn]

One for you to tackle, Brian?. One of the Flash Drives I use for back-up (good quality) is now 'not recognised'. I have tried all the DISM and CHKDSK variations and actually go it to display briefly, so I know all the files are still there. Tried assigning a fresh Drive letter too, to no avail. (Thinks: "How can I format it, if it's not recognised?!")
One for a future video, perhaps? Meantime, I have other backups and will format the drive and then re-use it, after checking for any viruses.

[gamesturbator]

Love how Windows 11 told me the drive had no errors the day before it failed (not even shown in the BIOS). I've a couple hard drives that are 15 years old, 2 that over 10, but my backup drive failed after 5 years. Go figure.

[DcComplete]

I just built z790-p and no drive in device management or this pc in win11. It is in bios on sata 5 enabled. Should I reset win11?

[nemuop-]

thanks for the video hdd connected to mobo but didn't show up....but after following ur step now it shows up

[selrfjc]

Hi! Mine is split into 3 parts in disk management. the two (including the biggest one which i believe is where my files are) will not allow me to do anything - all grayed out, except delete volume? then the one that will now show up is the small one but it's only 112 mbs when my drive is 2 tb. suggestions?

[astalavista]

Thank you for your vids you help me so much
