How do I reinitialize a disk

Hello. I need to reinitialize disk 1. How do i do that

Hi Kenneth,

I'm Anwille, an Independent Advisor.

DId you tried to right-click the disk and clicked Initialize? Note that you must open the Disk Management as an administrator for this to work.

See more information here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server....

Hope this helps. Let us know if you need more assistance.

You need to be logged in as administrator or member of the admin group. After that, click Start -> Run -> type compmgmt.msc -> click OK. Alternatively, right-click on the My Computer icon and select 'Manage'.

In the console tree, click Disk Management. The Disk Management window appears.

If you get this message, it means that the file being read by your PC or software is corrupted. However, it does not mean all the data is lost forever. When data is transferred, it is usually in small blocks and each block is given a CRC value. If something goes wrong with the data between the time it leaves the source and arrives at its destination, the CRC sent at the source will no longer match the one that is calculated when the data arrives - this is when the Cyclic Redundancy Check error will appear.

To troubleshoot this kind of issue, let's perform the following steps.

Use a command line to relocate the disk:
1) Open Command Prompt.
2) Type: diskpart.
3) At the DISKPART prompt, type: rescan.
4) Try to initialize disk.

Running Disk Utilities to check disk error, here I provide CHKDSK utility.
1) Open Command Prompt.
2) Type: chkdsk /f.
3) After checking disk error, retry the command: diskpart

If the issue persists, please continue the step.

Use Windows PE to copy the CD files out of this disk, then use CDCheck to recover CD files.

You can download Windows PE in the following website:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx...

Then, boot in Windows PE to copy CD files out of the disk.

If you can't access disk neither in Windows PE, I recommend that you contact hardware manufacturer for fix.

Otherwise, if you can access disk, please copy CD files out of disk. If the CDs are damaged, you can use CDCheck 3 to recover this files. It's free for personal use. You can obtain it in the website as follow.
