Each method’s specific steps and screenshots are provided in the text, so you don’t have to worry you will get mixed. However, if you read this post, the problem may not confuse you, because you are able to find several solutions to find your lost data back. Then it seems to behave like a normal NTFS volume.Have you ever cleaned a wrong disk? That is very terrible. Mysteriously, when the disk is in MBR mode, and after a partition is created (and auto-assigned letter E: in Explorer but NOT in diskpart), it can be formatted by going to Computer, right-clicking on E:, and selecting "Format.". But then diskpart doesn't seem to be aware that it has a drive letter! The "Ltr" field is blank in the output of "detail disk".
Diskpart cannot clean disk windows#
Whenever a primary partition is created (whether through diskpart or WSB), the volume is assigned a drive letter IMMEDIATELY in Windows Explorer. It gets as far as creating the volume, but can't format it. BUT still fails when I then try to make it a Windows Server Backup destination (exact error: ). (diskpart: list disk, select disk 1, clean, convert gpt, create partition primary, format fs=ntfs quick). Big thanks to /u/OckhamsChainsaws and /u/lowts!įor whatever reason, the format is successful if I convert to GPT first. Question I still have is: why would running "create partition primary" or the WSB format cause Explorer to assign the drive letter to a raw partition? Wouldn't it wait until an actual volume was created? And why wasn't diskpart able to detect that Explorer HAD assigned it a letter? If anyone knows, I'd love to hear about it. Just kind of guessed at this because I noticed Explorer was assigning a drive letter as soon as a partition was created, which apparently made the device unavailable to diskpart and WSB in the way that they expected.
Solution was running "automount disable" in diskpart. The server is performing fine otherwise.Īlso, trying to format through Disk Management results in a pop-up with title "Virtual Disk Manager" that reads "The system cannot find the file specified."Īny ideas? Anyone seen this before? Again, all disks in question can be cleaned, partitioned, and formatted just fine by other Windows machines. Sfc /scannow reports no integrity violations. All three are healthy and can be formatted just fine by other machines. I've tried to format two HDDs and one USB flash drive. The final status was 0xc0210009." Rebooting doesn't help. This volume will be unavailable for filtering until a reboot. See the System Event Log for more information."Īll I can find in eventvwr that may be triggered by this is an error from FilterManager, Event ID 3 that says "Filter Manager failed to attach to volume '\Device\HarddiskVolume13'. "DiskPart has encountered an error: The system cannot find the file specified. I can "clean" and "create partition primary" just fine but found that whenever I try to use a "format" command, I get the following error: Tried to format the disk myself through diskpart. Got a strange error when formatting the disk at the end of modifying the backup schedule. I added a disk (SATA) into a terminal server running 2008 R2 in order to use Windows Server Backup with it.
Having a strange issue that I've never seen before.
