Waxaad galisay Hard Disk cusub kombiyutarkaaga, kaliya waxaad ogaatay inuu maqan yahay ama aan la ogaan karin. Sidaa darteed, waxaan qiyaasi karnaa oo kaliya sida ay uga sii darayso marka nidaamku muujiyo darawal adag oo aan muujin qaladka Windows 10 . Xaaladdan oo kale, dhammaan xogta lagu kaydiyay qalabka ayaa laga yaabaa inay musuqmaasuqdo ama tirtirto. Sababtu waxay doontaba ha ahaatee, nidaamka hawlgalka Windows waxa uu bixiyaa dhawr fursadood oo lagu xaliyo dhibaatada iyo dib u helista helitaanka darawalka. Aan ku bilowno in aan ogaano waxa cusub ee adag ee aan la ogaan qaladka, sababaha, ka dibna, ku billow cilad-bixinta.

Sida loo hagaajiyo Hard Drive-ka oo aan ka muuqan Windows 10 PC^{(How to Fix Hard Drive Not Showing Up in Windows 10 PC)}

Hard Drive-ku wuxuu u baahan yahay kombuyuutarkaaga si uu u kaydiyo xogta deegaanka sida faylalka, codsiyada, iyo macluumaadka kale ee muhiimka ah. Marka mishiinka Hard Disk-ga ( HDD ), wadida-state-ada ( SSD ) ), ama USB-ga^(USB) adag ee dibadda ah lagu xidho kombayutarka, Windows 10 ayaa caadi ahaan aqoonsan doona oo si toos ah u dejin doona. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, darawalada adag, ha ahaadeen kuwa cusub ama kuwa duug ah, gudaha ama dibadda, waxaa laga yaabaa inay marmar joojiyaan ka soo muuqashada File Explorer ama Maareynta Disk^{(Disk Management)} , taas oo muujin karta arrimo kala duwan.

Arrinka, hard drive cusub oo aan la ogaan, waxaa laga yaabaa in ay u dhaxayso ka cadhaysi fudud ilaa mid weyn. Waxaa laga yaabaa, tusaale ahaan, inay tilmaanto inay jirto arrin jireed oo ku saabsan xogta ku jirta wadista ama isku xirka awoodda diskka adag. Si kastaba ha noqotee, haddii qalabkaagu uu si caadi ah u kicin karo markaa, looma baahna in laga walwalo maaddaama diskku weli shaqeynayo. Laakiin, haddii Windows 10 uu awoodi waayo inuu ka soo bilaabo saxanadaha ay saameeyeen, waxaa laga yaabaa inaad lumiso gelitaanka faylashaada.

Waa maxay sababta Hard Drive-ku aanu u soo bixin?^{(Why is Hard Drive Not Showing Up?)}

Haddii Hard Disk-gu aan lagu tusin File Explorer , markaa:

• Waxaa suurtogal ah in la damiyo, ama offline^{(deactivated, or offline)} .
• Waxa kale oo suurtogal ah in aanay weli haysan warqadda wadista oo loo qoondeeyey^{(drive letter assigned)} .

Natiijo ahaan, markaad geliso darawalka kombiyuutarkaaga, Windows kaliya waxay ku sugaysaa inaad go'aansato waxa aad ku samaynayso halkii aad qaabayn lahayd oo aad si toos ah ugu dari lahayd liiska wadista. Si kastaba ha noqotee, haddii aadan waligaa ku darin disk adag kombuyutarkaaga hadda ka hor, waxay noqon kartaa cabsi badan marka darawalku u muuqdo inuu maqan yahay. Liiska hababka lagu xalliyo dhibaatada ayaa halkan lagu soo ururiyey. Ku^(Implement) dhaqan hab kasta tallaabo-tallaabo ilaa aad ka gaadhayso hagaajin.

Fix Hard Drive Not Showing Up in Windows 10

You inserted a new hard disk in your computer, only to discover that it is missing or undetectable. Therefore, we can only imagine how aggravating іt is when the system displays hard drive not showing up error in Windows 10. In this situation, the whole data saved on the deviсe mаy get corrupt or deleted. Whatever the cauѕе, Windows operating system offers a number of options for resolving the problem and regaining access to the drive. Let us start by figuring out what is the new hard driνe not detected error, the reasons for it, and thereafter, begin with trоubleshooting.

How to Fix Hard Drive Not Showing Up in Windows 10 PC

A hard drive is required for your computer to store local data such as files, applications, and other crucial info. When a mechanical hard disk (HDD), solid-state drive (SSD), or external USB hard drive is connected to a computer, Windows 10 will typically identify and set it up automatically. However, hard drives, whether new or old, internal or external, might occasionally stop appearing in File Explorer or Disk Management, which could signal a variety of issues.

The issue, new hard drive not detected, might range from a simple annoyance to a major one. It might, for example, indicate that there is a physical issue with the data on the drive or power connection to hard disk. However, if your device can boot up normally then, there is no need to worry as the disk is still functional. But, if Windows 10 is unable to start from the affected disks, you may lose access to your files.

Why is Hard Drive Not Showing Up?

If the hard disk is not shown in File Explorer, then:

• It is possible that it is deactivated, or offline.
• It is also possible that it does not have a drive letter assigned to it yet.
• You are trying to connect a drive that was previously installed on another computer.
• The drive partition may be corrupt.
• It is a raw disk that has never been configured. As a result, it was never formatted or initialized.

New hard drives you buy are not always formatted and ready to use, unlike the hard drive that comes with an off-the-shelf computer. Instead, they are completely blank–the idea being that the end-user will do anything they want with the drive, so pre-formatting or otherwise altering it at a manufacturer is not necessary. As a result, when you insert the drive into your computer, Windows just waits for you to decide what to do with it rather than formatting and adding it to the drive list automatically. However, if you have never added a hard disk to your computer before, it might be rather frightening when the drive appears to be gone. A list of methods to solve the problem is compiled here. Implement each method step by step until you attain a fix.

Preliminary Checks: New Hard Drive Not Detected

You should always check whether your hard disk is visible in BIOS or not to find out if there is an issue in your PC or the hard disk. Here’s how to enter BIOS on Windows 10.

• If your hard drive displays in BIOS and is connected or operating properly, then the issue lies with Windows OS.
• If, on the other hand, the hard disk does not appear in BIOS, it is most likely not connected properly.

Method 1: Basic Hardware Troubleshooting

First and foremost, ensure that there is not a loose connection as it might cause the cable to get detached leading to the said issue. Hence, make sure to perform the given checks to fix new hard drive not detected issue.

• The hard disk is correctly attached to the motherboard and power supply.
• The data cable is connected to an appropriate motherboard port.
• The power cable is connected to the power source.
• Attach the hard drive to a different SATA connection on the motherboard and check again.
• Purchase a new SATA cable if the old cable is damaged.

If your hard drive is correctly connected but still not showing up on your laptop, try the troubleshooting options suggested below.

Your PC will restart and new hard drive not detected issue will be solved.

Method 3: Initialize Disk

In most situations, all you have to do is start your new hard drive, and it will appear on your computer properly

1. Press Windows + X keys simultaneously and click on Disk Management, as shown.

2. When you launch the Disk Management window, you will see a list of all connected hard disks. Look for a drive labeled Disk 1 or Disk 0 in the list.

Note: This disk is easy to spot because it has not been started and is labeled as unknown or unallocated.

3. Right-click on that partition. Select Initialize Disk. as depicted below

4. Select either of the following options in Use the following partition style for the selected disks and click OK.

• MBR (Master Boot Record)
  
• GPT (GUID Partition Table)
