I have Windows XP Pro installed on a computer and am having a problem with Disk Management not displaying any of the hard drives installed in the system. I tired running “Diskpart” from DOS and when I ran the “list volume” command, the hard drives were not displayed with it either. Both Disk Management and running “Diskpart” do show the two DVD writers I have installed, but that’s it.
The two hard drives that won’t display in Disk Management are recognized correctly in the Device Manager, Windows Explorer, defragment utilities, and Windows Explorer, but for some reason not in the Disk Management or by running “Diskpart” in DOS.
I’ve tried running “SFC /scannow” to make sure the windows files are as they should be, but it did not help. I also tried hunting down references to the issue I’m having, but with no luck. I hope someone here will be able to clue me in to what the problem is and provide an explain of how I might be able to fix it.
Thanks,
