Disk Management shows me: Disk 1, Unknown, Not Initialized
Hey so firstly, I have spent about 5 hours searching through these and many other forums looking for some sort answer. I am very noobish when it comes to this stuff.
when I plug in my external hard drive(Buffalo MiniStation USB3.0 1TB), windows detected it, it shows up as USB Mass Storage device. Drivers are all working fine, updated etc. I have updated everything I possible can on my computers, Motherboard etc.
I don't know what else to include, but if any other info is needed just let me know.
I go into Device manager and its there and working aparently.
When I go to disk management, it shows up as disk 1, but I cannot format it, the only option is to initialize it. So I try to initialize it and I get an error saying that it cannot be initialized.
So I right click to try and initialize and it gives me the options: Initialize Disk(not clickable), Offline, Properties and Help.

The disk would need to be replaced if it is still under warranty.
yeah still in warranty....
thanks....
