How to Fix Disk Not Initialized Problem on Windows 10 [Tutorial]

Many people use removable media to store data or serve as a backup disk. After prolonged use, the external hard disk may not be displayed. The problem usually attacks unexpectedly throughout the Windows version. If this is the case, your external hard disk may display “unallocated space” or nothing on the disk space in Disk Management, so you will not be able to open and access the data on that hard disk.

The problem when users struggle to initialize their disk on Windows 10 usually appears when inserting a brand new external hard drive or SSD. This problem can also appear in various other scenarios and it’s really important to resolve it since you are unable to use the drive before resolving this issue.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba,Lenovo, and Samsung).
