      not sure what went wrong. I have a windows 8 64bit system. My seagate 500 gb drive was showing only 32gb so i followed everything and it all worked except the drive disappeared after. I tried to follow your pinned comment and something seems different. In computer management i see "storage" not disk and under that i see both my disk 0 which is my hard drive where my OS is installed and then i see below disk 1 which looks like my storage drive that i just cleaned. Now they are BOTH blue so if i right click the storage drive that i need to initialized all i get is "format, properties, shrink volume etc" nothing about initialize. HELP!!!!! I can't access this drive any more!!!! HELLLLLLLPPPP :(

    I have used this video so many times. I love how it just gets right to the point and just works. No loud song playing the entire time. No 10 minute intro asking for likes and to subscribe. No useless or wrong information. And he isn't using some horribly out of date version of Windows where none of these steps would work on modern systems. This is exactly how windows tutorial videos should be.

I especially "love" the videos that start the way you said, then they tell you what the video is NOT about, then they tell you what it IS about, then you get a description of everything they did wrong that finally led them to the solution they're about to tell you. Then they mumble and talk too fast when they DO finally tell you the steps that work. Then when you try what they said, it doesn't work anyway....hehehe. AHHHH!!!

    Thank you! To those who's file explorer doesn't recognize the drive, as was the case with mine, you'll need to initialize it in Disk Management. Type in Computer Management in start and you should be able to find Disk Management in the window that pops up. From there, you may need to delete the volume on the drive, right click on it, and create a new simple volume. This assigns an actual drive letter to the storage. Worked for me.

    Thanks man, that worked perfectly for me! One note: when I went to "start" and typed cmd to get the command prompt, I had to right-click and Run as Administrator, 'cause I got "Access denied" the first time when I tried to "clean" the drive.

    • @jamiewagner
      @jamiewagner  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That just means you have to initialize it now and then it’ll be back to normal in order to initialize that you have to go into computer management to do that once you initialize it it’ll show back up like normal and you can format it so initialize it first then format it then you’re all hundred percent good to go

      you probably just need to initialize that drive now so it shows back up. I haven't made a video on that yet so search for how to initialize a hard drive under windows computer management, if you cannot find anything then let me know I can make a video for you
