Before the restart, both devices will need to be detached from the computer. Sometimes the computer needs to be restarted before USB 3.0 port function returns. In some cases, removing and reattaching the devices may restore USB 3.0 port function.

Once this occurs, both devices will be inaccessible and may disappear from the listings of drives in the Computer window. At times this occurs very quickly, other times it takes 10-15 min. If two USB 3.0 devices (such as external HDDs) are attached via the USB 3.0 ports, after a period of time BOTH USB 3.0 ports will shut down.

macOS has a built-in tool that can help fix an unreadable USB flash drive on Mac: Disk Utility. I get the same message that The device isn't ready. If the USB flash drive appears to be corrupted, e.g., when Mac cannot detect it or refuses to mount the drive, make sure that it was properly prepared.

No, it won't let me take it offline in diskpart, either. It shouldn't matter, but is the ECP being run on a user or admin account?Hi Dan, Can you take the drives offline/online through diskpart? Also like the idea of running the clean command as well. Initialization offers you to prepare your external hard disk to accept data by splitting it into two steps.
#USB CANNOT INITIALIZE DRIVE WINDOWS 10#
Does anyone else have an idea of something that will work?Īlso, I should say that I've tried this on my Windows 10 machine as well as a Windows 7 machine. Initialize a storage device (much like the formatting procedure) is the method to erase the data on the drive and allow it to be workable again if it is not in service before. I've been looking online and trying multiple things and having no luck. That leads me to believe it is something else. If this was just one or two hard drives, I would think it was just a hard drive problem, but it's nearly every single one. I can also list the Volumes on this disk. As you can see from my screenshot, it shows that there is a disk but no space. I also tried using Diskpart to remove the Read Only status, but that isn't working either. During my troubleshooting, I came across something that indicated to me that these are all in Read Only mode and I've tried various things to remove that, but with no luck. When I go into Disk Management, it just says Disk 1 Unknown NotInitialized. Next, /f refers to any attempts to fix the errors on the USB drive, and /x will force the USB drive to be dismounted before attempting any scan. It mainly comprises the drive letter of your USB after chkdsk entry, which you can find in File Explorer. However, with most of them I am having a problem in that my pc is not recognizing the hard drives. You may also use Chkdsk /Drive Name/: /f /x in Command prompt or the newly launched Windows Terminal to locate and solve any errors. I have a bunch of hard drives that I have pulled out of old computers and want to clean before I get rid of them.
