1464458 2019-10-10 22:37:00 I upgraded an i3 PC from Win7 to Win10.

Win10 has issues with the 2nd 2Tb HD .
Win10 sees it in disk manager , but cant see/read the partition .
If I try & initialize the disk in disk manager , I get a "incorrect function" error
The 2nd HD wasnt connected when the Win10 upgrade was done . It was an upgrade, not a clean install .

The 2nd HD had no issues in win7 on that PC
Ive tried diskpart / clean , that didnt help.
I connected that disk onto another PC , that other Win7 PC had no issues with the drive

Any ideas ? Its only a PC used for testing etc so not a big deal, I can re-image back to Win7
Im just curious as to why Win10 has issues with this HD

1464459 2019-10-10 22:49:00 Weird, in theory 7 doesn't know any tricks 10 doesn't.

Occasionally for stubborn disk issues that windows won't fix I've resorted to booting off a linux install flash drive and using Gparted to blow everything away and start over. Mainly that's been for when the OS insists the disk is in the wrong format (GPT/ MBR etc) and won't change it though, I've not had your issue myself. I've used an Aomei boot disk successfully as well.

If it hasn't it will be seen in disk manager but that's all ( apart from partitioning software) if no Drive letter, go into disk manager - Assign a letter to the drive.
