DISK DATA RECOVERY

In general, the partition layout and type of your disk will be displayed in Disk Management (DM). Besides, detailed information like partition type, partition capacity and status can also be clearly seen there. Well, if you open computer and find some partitions on the non-bootable hard drive are missing from Windows Explorer, you must feel depressed. It’s reasonable. At this time, we suggest you to open Disk Management to see what’s going on.
 

 
Some users may disappointedly find that the whole hard disk drive appears as uninitialized. What happened? Can data saved here be recovered? If disk shows as not initialized in Disk Management, users have no way to access that disk unless they start initializing it and try again. But, if doing this, users will lose all important data saved on that uninitialized hard drive. How to do under such circumstance? Is it possible to recover data from uninitialized disk?
 

Drive Appears as Uninitialized – How to Fix

It is not strange if a new hard disk shows as uninitialized in DM after connecting to a Windows computer. Users will need to divide it into several partitions as they like and then initialize the disk in order to use it normally. However, it must be caused by a terrible problem if the hard disk which worked normally before now shows as unknown (RAW/uninitialized/unallozcated).
 

 
As for how to recover data from unknown disk, we have a suggestion: using MiniTool Power Data Recovery. Download and install it to another disk on the same computer and then follow this to recover data:
 
Run the data recovery software -> click “Lost Partition Recovery” module -> select the not initialized disk -> press “Full Scan” to search for missing partitions & files -> check desired ones from found files -> press “Save” to set a storage path.
 
After all those steps are finished, users can open DM and start to initialize the drive appears as uninitialized to make it work normally.
