Hello,

I have a 2TB external HDD of Seagate that's not showing in my computer but its showing in the disk management console and showing Unknown not initialized, unallocated, please help me with this I am unable to use my disk and has a lot of important files in it.

UPDATE: When I try to recover data using software like EaseUS, Minitool Recovery, After the full scan it doesn't show any result.


Thanks

The HDD is probably unallocated, just watch this video

. If it still doesn't work, then i assume you probably have a m.2, just check your motherboard manual and if should tell you what ports are disabled when plugging in a m.2, then just plug in a sata port besides that one. Hope this helps! :)


Yeah it is showing unallocated in disk management but it has many important files I stored inside it.
