9. Problemų sprendimas

Žr. toliau pateiktas dažniausiai pasitaikančias problemas ir jų sprendimus:

9.1 Hard Drive Not Found / RAW Format

Image 9.1: Troubleshooting Q1 & Q2

• Q1: After connecting a new hard drive, why can't I find it or see its disc letter?
  A1: New hard drives must be formatted before use. Right-click 'Computer' (or 'This PC'), then 'Manage', open 'Disk Management'. Find the new hard drive, right-click 'Initialize Disk' (select 'MBR' for drives ≤ 2TB, 'GPT' for drives > 2TB). Then, 'New Simple Volume' and follow the prompts to format the partition.
• 2 klausimas: Kietasis diskas diskų tvarkytuvėje rodomas RAW formatu dėl netinkamo ištraukimo arba elektros energijos tiekimo sutrikimo. Ką turėčiau daryti?
  A2: You can attempt recovery using the chkdsk command. Run Command Prompt as administrator, then input chkdsk D:/f (replace 'D' with the actual drive letter). Scanning and repair will complete, and a reboot may be required.

9.2 Other Common Issues

Image 9.2: Troubleshooting Q3-Q5

• Q3: The hard drive is dynamically invalid in Disk Management because it was previously removed from an old computer.
  A3: This is a system-related issue. Reinstall the hard drive into the original computer motherboard and back up the data. If the old computer is unavailable, you can use dynamic disk conversion software to convert it to a basic disk.
• Q4: Hard drive shows up but has no disc letter.
  A4: In Disk Management, right-click on the Disk Partition section and select 'Change Drive Letter and Paths' to add a drive letter for use.
• Q5: The enclosure automatically disconnects during transmission and then reconnects after a while.
  A5: This could indicate issues with the computer's USB interface, the USB cable, computer USB drivers, the hard drive itself, or the hard drive enclosure. Contact technical support for assistance in diagnosing the problem.
