Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

If the disk was available before, then its probably corrupted somehow.Įxternal hard disk unknown not initialized A disk is registered when you format it at least once. The weird thing is that when I go inside the folder and I select all the fonts and I check their size Its not even 500 Mo.
I delete most of the fonts (I kept only the ones needed by windows) and the size didn't change. If yes, then it simply means that the disk doesn’t have a valid signature, i.e., it’s not properly registered with the system. I have an issue with my disk space, my C: Drive is almost full because of the fonts folder. To check if it’s physically there, open the Disk Management. Many a time your partition or drive does not appear in File Explorer. This can happen randomly even with existing drives and if you face this error, here is what you can do about it. If you have installed a new internal or external hard drive or SSD, and its status in the left side of the Disk Management Tool displays Unknown Not Initialized then it means that Windows can’t the initialize disk and you therefore are not able to use the hard drive or SSD.
