New hard drive appeared in 'My Computer' but cannot access

A few days ago, I discovered a "new" drive appears in my computer. He pointed to (e), but Windows can't read at all. If I click on it, a message saying "you must format the disk in E: drive until you can use it. You want to format? »

So, when I click on cancel, do not format, the message says "E:\ is not accessible. The volume does not contain a recognized file system... "etc.

If I right click on the drive properties and view, Windows reports the drive as having a capacity of 0 bytes.

I think that there is a partition that was previously hidden and has of recovering files or bios, put there by the manufacturer of the computer.

I would get hidden once again, because not only it is an annoyance, but his presence changed all designations of drive letter of my external devices (i.e., a flash used to be "G:" drive is now "H:" and etc. for other devices). It is a problem for programs looking for specific readers and shortcuts.

As a note, I have MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition, for the management of the partitions. But for some reason, the option to hide this particular drive is "grayed out" and not selectable. But at least the program is able to tell me that the drive is primary and that it has met its capacity of 15.69 MB.

Is there a way I can hide it again and restore my drive letter designations already?

My computer is a netbook Asus eee pc 1005HA. Thanks in advance for any help!

  • How to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7

    Original title: window 7

    Hi can one tell me how to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7, I just brought Office 2016 and he did not finish the load down with the windows key 7.

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    Full version (retail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM System Builder version:

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

  • Built a new computer, kept the hard drive from my old computer but had Vista OEM

    I have set up a new computer, but kept my hard drive to save money, I did not know that that I was not allowed to do, and now I'm stuck without a computer! Rather than buying a new copy of windows is it possible to get my renewed series and re - install off a friends Vista CD? I'm in the United Kingdom if it makes a difference to contact departments/services on this subject.

    If Vista is preinstalled on your computer, or you purchased an OEM disk/license, it is non-transferable.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.

    See you soon.

  • Hard drive missing from 'My Computer' but installed and visible in Device Manager

    I just bought and set up a new computer, the Intel core i5 processor and motherboard asus p7p55d the with Windows7 64-bit home premium. I have 2 hard drives, sata 1 500 sata drives gig and concert 1 250 drive.
    Windows is installed on the 500 GB drive.
    In the bios, I see the two hard drives in Device Manager, I see both hard drives but in 'my computer', the hard drive is missing, which means that I have no use of it...
    It is like a record of work for the next Adobe programs.
    I tried to disconnect the drive physically and re - install, I uninstalled in Device Manager.
    I am at a loss of reason why I can't use this drive, does anyone know how to fix this?

    Check disk management to see if the drive is there. It must be formatted before you can see in the computer.

    Right-click on computer and select manage, then disk management.

    Sounds like you have enabled autoplay
    Whenever you insert the memory key USB flash it will try and read the contents of the files on it.
    You can disable this by holding SHIFT when you insert the USB key.
    This should disable the AutoPlay option.
    Then you can go to MY computer in order to access the USB key.

    Note: pilots are zipped so you will need to decompress the content first, I installed a 3rd third party tool called WinRAR to unpack the packages unique.
