Hi, thank you very much for your video. Quick question - when I type attributes volume and Enter, it says "There is no volume selected. Please select a volume and try again." What does this mean?
Thank you for this video! It helped me fix an external SSD that wasn't being recognized -- going into disk management and creating a volume in it fixed the problem. Going into diskpat and running those commands in step 3 helped me identify the problem. Subbed to the channel 👍🏾
Can you help me at 6:26 when i'm instructed to type attributes volume it say something along the line of: volume not selected please try again I have followed the steps exactly, and repeated a few times but the same message occurs
Actually IF you made an EXTERNAL HDD and it doesn't show up in the list, but you know its not damaged, and it gets recognized by the windows USB/PORT when you plug it in. Please make sure you give it an hard enough push to connect it properly to the circuit of the enclosure case! Just unscrew it and give it another small push until it "clicks" in place and mount it again! This was my problem and how I fixed it.
After typing attributes volume I get "There is no volume selected". Any idea what could I do? I even have/had data on that drive, hope I can save it somehow.
So pleased I found your site. I wasted so much time with the "experts" (including the official Microsoft!) who basically only tell us what as users we already know. You on the other hand, seem to have the real answers to the difficult Windows issues. . Every time I connected the ext disc I had to go to Computer Management - Disc management and re-allocate a drive letter, but this took 10 minutes while it was "Connecting to Virtual Disk Service" I finally solved this using your "enable auto mount" By the way, just out of interest do you know why it takes 10 minutes "Connecting to Virtual Disk Service..." before it populates with the list of drives ? It never used to take more than 60 seconds? Thank you again for the great service you provide here. I have started to use many of your informative videos about the Windows system.
you are a legend. tried using partition recovery software everything but all it took was one well made video and some commands. thanks so much you saved me from chucking a 2tb hardrive.
Hi, I am stuck in ''list disk'', when i type ''attributes volume'' , it says ''there is no volume selected. Please select a volume and try again'', could you help
disk was previously used on Mac. I am unable to click "change drivers and paths" as that is not highlighted. Any other solution? I am getting three partition, while partition 1 is showing systeml, partition 2 and 3 are showing unknown. major size is in partition 2 and then in list volume, it is showing volume (special character theta)..and other volumes. Volume theta label is shown as OS and with the size of my hard disk. However, how can i type theta and select this volume. please help
Light of my external hard drive is working and I can feel the hard disk working when I touch it. But it is showing up neither in my computer nor in disk management. It appears under disk drivers in device manager. Can you please tell me exactly what is the problem? By the way I changed the ports as well as cable. It didn't work.
Okay I found the fix for this: search "create and format hard disk partitions" scroll down to the hard disk that doesn't work, right click it, new volume. Then just follow the wizard until u assign any letter to it (i used G). After doing this my hard disk showed up in This PC (my computer) with the name "New volume", you can just rename it to whatever you want. Hope that helps :D
Very informative, it fix the issue that when I connect my newly bought seagate portable drive I can hear the sound but not showing in the windows drives. Thank you so much for this.

Edit: there is a black bar instead of a blue one and it says "unallocated" underneath the spot where it says the total storage.

Ii got the same thing, but then did this. Press the "window' key + R. When the new box opens, type in diskmgmt.msc and tap OK. The disk management box will open and you will see what your hard drive, possibly Disk 1 as it did for me. From there, to be honest I can't quite remember because mine is now repaired and showing as healthy and is working. But what I do remember is that is was quite straight forward and simple. I either clicked on Disk 1, or possibly right clicked on it and went from there. Nothing else was required and it immediately showed as healthy and was recognized by my PC. Hope this helps!
My external hard drive works well when I use it in USB 2 but don't work in USB 3. My computer has only USB 3. I bought a USB hub with both USB 2 & 3 and use the external hard drive in USB 2 of that hub. It works fine.
EasyTechs The problem that I’m having is after I put in this part I typed in select disk 1. Then I typed in list part and received the message of there are no partitions on this disk to show. I can actually see the hard drive and when I right click on properties, go to hardware, and select Ed my passport 25e2 usb the device status shows as this device is working properly.Once I click the property tab under that and click on the volumes tab it’s blank. Any advice? I can hear my computer recognize the hard drive but one I click on it it states h:\ application not found
This is the best video I’ve seen on this subject. Unfortunately none of these methods worked for me. Gutted. I’m going to forget about recovering any data and maybe work on getting the drive working. The last time I buy seagate.
I went through it all and went throught to the last on using diskpart. I selected partition 1 and it said 'Partition 1 is not the selected partition'. I then typed 'volume attributes' it says 'there is no volume selected please select a volume and try again'. I then typed 'attributes volume clear nodefaultdriveletter'. it says there is no volume selected please select a volume and try again. I just don't get it!
So I own a Mac and a pc, when my external drive was new I plugged it into my ox and it showed up, then I backed up my Mac using that same external drive, ever since that , my pc and same with all pc won’t recognize the external drive or sometimes it does but it shows that the drive is empty, but macs can recognized it properly with out any problems. So is the problem is my mac’s backup ?
Hi, @3:10 I can't click the option "assign the following disk letter" as the name of my external HD is already at a default of "G". What do I need to do next? Hoping for a response thank you

Ii got the same thing, but then did this. Press the "window' key + R. When the new box opens, type in diskmgmt.msc and tap OK. The disk management box will open and you will see what your hard drive, possibly Disk 1 as it did for me. From there, to be honest I can't quite remember because mine is now repaired and showing as healthy and is working. But what I do remember is that is was quite straight forward and simple. I either clicked on Disk 1, or possibly right clicked on it and went from there. Nothing else was required and it immediately showed as healthy and was recognized by my PC. Hope this helps!
@@markschlumpf5485 It is quite simple, thanks for the info!
You are a legend Mark. Thanks
My external hard drive works well when I use it in USB 2 but don't work in USB 3. My computer has only USB 3. I bought a USB hub with both USB 2 & 3 and use the external hard drive in USB 2 of that hub. It works fine.
Thanks so much man! I thought I lost my projects you're the best
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
EasyTechs The problem that I’m having is after I put in this part I typed in select disk 1. Then I typed in list part and received the message of there are no partitions on this disk to show. I can actually see the hard drive and when I right click on properties, go to hardware, and select Ed my passport 25e2 usb the device status shows as this device is working properly.Once I click the property tab under that and click on the volumes tab it’s blank. Any advice? I can hear my computer recognize the hard drive but one I click on it it states h:\ application not found
This is the best video I’ve seen on this subject. Unfortunately none of these methods worked for me. Gutted. I’m going to forget about recovering any data and maybe work on getting the drive working. The last time I buy seagate.
A true hero in my eyes. thank you!
So generous of you bro... Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback!
I went through it all and went throught to the last on using diskpart. I selected partition 1 and it said 'Partition 1 is not the selected partition'. I then typed 'volume attributes' it says 'there is no volume selected please select a volume and try again'. I then typed 'attributes volume clear nodefaultdriveletter'. it says there is no volume selected please select a volume and try again. I just don't get it!

hi,
my disk was previously used on Mac. I am unable to click "change drivers and paths" as that is not highlighted. Any other solution? I am getting three partition, while partition 1 is showing systeml, partition 2 and 3 are showing unknown. major size is in partition 2 and then in list volume, it is showing volume (special character theta)..and other volumes. Volume theta label is shown as OS and with the size of my hard disk. However, how can i type theta and select this volume.
please help
