Hard drive problems

rebelyell06 · Apr 2, 2014

I recently decided to downgrade from windows 8.1 back to 7. I have a 128gb ssd for my operating system and drivers only and a 1tb for strictly storage. When I got windows 7 running last night, it wouldn't recognize my tb. Well kinda. It sees that it is there in disk management. Even how much space has been used off it. But I can't access it. The only option it seems to be giving me is converting it to dynamic disk, which I am not to sure about. Any help?

Try to format it. I think Windows only formatted the SSD and is confused about the Tb. But before you try that, try to name the drive from disk management. If you don't know what I mean like give it the A:, B:, C:, ect. drive and see if you can access it then. If all else fails you can do the format because Windows might have gotten confused. I hope this helped!

No option to rename, or format. Just to delete volume or convert to dynamic disk

When you right-click on the drive does it say, "Change drive letters and paths?" It should. Otherwise I'm not sure if deleting the volume or converting to dynamic disk will do any good.

It won't let me click that option. The only one I can click is delete or help

I'm mainlly just trying to avoid re-downloading all of my games for a third time. That is all that is really on the tb anyways. My internet isn't unlimited anymore or it wouldn't be an issue at all lol

Hmmmmm... You may need to create a partition. Do you know how to do that?
