Hello Approximately eight years ago, I have a Western Digital 2 TB external HDD. I was experimenting with the Diskpart command. I was making it impossible to access the files on the Western Digital 2 TB external HDD. I used Offline, Hide, Remove, etc. I just was organizing my computer room and I found two drives that I made impossible to access. Is there a way to make the Western Digital 2 TB external HDD back to normal so I can access the files again/? I want to copy all the files on these two Western Digital 2 TB external HDD to a WD 15TB drive. I would appreciate all and any assistance with this issue. Thank you.
diskpart list vol sel vol X clean create part pri sel part 1 format fs=ntfs quick assign letter=X X is whatever vol is, then whatever drive letter you want.
No, I have an external drive that I can't access and I need to access the drive so I can access the files on the external drive. I don't want to format the drive. Thanks for your responce.
You shouldn't have played with fire if you didnt want to get burned... You can try recuva to try and scan for the files and see what you can extract/save. Otherwise we need to know excatly what commands you used and what can be done about it. Sometimes a partition just loses it's drive letter but it exists and needs a new drive letter, so do try disk management in windows to check the state of the partitions.
So you made it offline & maybe removed the drive letter? diskpart lis dis sel dis x online dis lis par sel par y assign letter=t exit See if the steps above help in making X drive Online and Y partition assigned a drive letter...
Thank you for your quick reply. I'll give it a try and I'll get to let you know if it worked! Again, Thank you.
Thank you, I'll give it a try. I thought Acronis Disk Director was a backup program. I'll google it and hopefully it will work....
