Hi,<\/p>\n

I am facing some issues regarding my Transcend HDD. It’s not appearing in My Computer\/Windows Explorer option however it is shown in windows notification icons as USB Mass storage installed.
\nIn Disk Management, the status of my ext disk shows as “Unknown 465.76GB Not Initialized”. However, I can see my ext disk showing in Device Manager under Disk Drive and I can see the entry USB Mass Storage Device. I don’t know why my ext Drive is not longer shown as E: drive in My Computer.
\nIn short:
\nBefore the status of my ext hard disk is :
\n– My Computer: E: drive and correct name
\n– Device Manager under Disk Drive – shown the model name
\n– Disk Management – shown as NTFS<\/p>\n

Now
\n– My Computer: disaappear
\n– Device Manager under Disk Drive – shown the model name
\n– Disk Management – shows “Unknown 465.76GB Not Initialized”<\/p>\n

Will it erase all data from HDD if I select “Initialise” option?<\/p>\n

Can you please help further? Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":40},"question-category":[47],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-9779","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-hardware"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/9779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=9779"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=9779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
