Hey ive got a bit of a problem where my 2 storage drives wont show as (D) or (E) drives they just simply wont show. In the disk manager they show as populated drives with 100% disk space free. one of the drives in empty the other is nearly full of games. Ive tested the drives on a different pc and they show fine and with the data being fine. Ive also check the manual of the motherboard which is an Asrock b150m and sata port 0 is disable since im using and nvme drive for the OS. neither of the drives are plugged into this port and none of the other ports fix the issue either. Any ideas?

Don't make a new partition. That will loose all your data. Looks like you may need to allocate a new drive letter to the partitions in question.

 

DO NOT do this for the two partitions without drive letters on drive 1 (before C: partition) THIS WILL BREAK WINDOWS. Only touch disk 1 and 2.

 

You need to right click on the partition, 'Change drive letters and paths', 'Add'. Choose desired drive letter from the dropdown. Then 'Ok'. That should sort it out.

Did the drives work before on this computer? Or did you move them here from elsewhere? Did you encrypt the drive?

Will this also show the data on the drive? As pc is showing that they are empty when one drive is almost full.

Doing that will allow you to access the drives from windows explorer/this pc.

So the pc showing that the drive is completely empty right now (before i assign a letter) is normal and will show the data after? Sorry  for so many questions i just really dont want to loose my data and if there is a chance i will loose it id rather back it up on another drive/computer first.. which is what i really should do first anyway lol...

You stand no chance of loosing data by assigning a drive letter.

 

Although its strange the drives are showing 100% free space. Unassigning the drive letter from my secondary drive doesn't cause it to do that.

no other pcs running windows 10 also. it is an older pc though and uses "sata as ide" instead of "ahci" if that has anything to do with it. but the drives were originaly from this computer anyway and no OS has been installed on either of the drives at any point

Yeah, back everything up. Something's not right.

 

Sata as IDE might be the issue.

Adding a letter to the drives worked fine and data is all there too :) Thanks!
