Like the case above, the issue 'disk unknown not initialized' happens not only on removable hard drives but also on internal or external hard drives from major manufacturers like Western Digital, Samsung, etc in Windows 10/8/7.

When it occurs, your hard drive may show unallocated space in Disk Management, and the data on which will be inaccessible.

In addition, there is another situation: there is no disk space shown in Disk Management.

In general, a disk being unknown or uninitialized can be caused by various events including a virus attack, corrupted Master Boot Record, partition loss, bad sectors, and some computer file system corruption. If you are having trouble fixing your hard disk, please try the following solutions.

How to Solve Disk Unknown Not Initialized Windows 10/8/7

Case 1: Disk Unknown, Not initialized, Unallocated

First of all, open Disk Management and find the uninitialized disk. If its disk capacity is shown, that means your Windows operating system has recognized this disk, but its partition is lost or MBR is corrupted due to some reasons. In this case, you can use a professional software to fix the MBR and recover the partition.
