I looked at the System Event log and this is what it says. To answer your other question, I'm logged into the pc as domain administrator. I get the same message that The device isn't ready.
No, it won't let me take it offline in diskpart, either.
It shouldn't matter, but is the ECP being run on a user or admin account?Hi Dan, Can you take the drives offline/online through diskpart? Also like the idea of running the clean command as well. Does anyone else have an idea of something that will work?Īlso, I should say that I've tried this on my Windows 10 machine as well as a Windows 7 machine. I've been looking online and trying multiple things and having no luck. That leads me to believe it is something else. If this was just one or two hard drives, I would think it was just a hard drive problem, but it's nearly every single one. I can also list the Volumes on this disk. As you can see from my screenshot, it shows that there is a disk but no space. I also tried using Diskpart to remove the Read Only status, but that isn't working either. During my troubleshooting, I came across something that indicated to me that these are all in Read Only mode and I've tried various things to remove that, but with no luck. When I go into Disk Management, it just says Disk 1 Unknown NotInitialized. However, with most of them I am having a problem in that my pc is not recognizing the hard drives. I have a bunch of hard drives that I have pulled out of old computers and want to clean before I get rid of them.
