  • The "change drive letter and paths" option is not coming up; only the "properties" is. Any ideas?

  • @oXoDieseLoXo Head to my support forum at FreeComputerConsultant(dot)com­/forum and I'll be glad to try to help.

  • Hi, I watched your videos on hard drive data recovery and USB Drive Letter Missing. I got to the computer management window, but it only shows Disk 1 Unknown Not Initialized. Attempts to initialize were unsuccessful. I am attempting to recover data from a C: drive of our old desktop, not sure how to proceed.

  • @phintho83 Why would you want to initialize it if you want to recover data?

  • Hey again, I'm starting to enjoy your videos and I was wondering if you could help me with my problem. I want to display my HDD from my ps3 (It is SATA) And windows installs the drivers and all of that stuff but it still isn't showing under Disk Management, Any tips or advice would be helpful, thanks.

  • @D12WorldNight PS3 hard drives are encrypted - it sucks. Don't store anything valuable on it because if your PS3 dies there is no way I have found to recover the data.

  • mine said format cant change it

  • Thank you, It helped a lot, of what I was working on.

  • Roger, thanks!! I'm so grateful to people like you who share your knowledge freely. This was extremely helpful.

  • And how about re. Mac? Hooking up an external (recovered HD from a PC) onto Mac USB via diablotek, very similar to other brands you demo'd elsewhere. Disc spins up, all seems well--but won't show on the computer.

  • Thanks for the video! This is the exact issue I was having.Everything is working great now.
