您在计算机中插入了一个新硬盘，却发现它丢失或无法检测到。因此，我们只能想象当系统在Windows 10^{(Windows 10)}中显示硬盘未显示错误时是多么的严重。在这种情况下，保存在设备上的全部数据可能会损坏或删除。不管是什么原因，Windows 操作系统^{(operating system)}都提供了许多选项来解决问题并重新获得对驱动器的访问权限。让我们首先弄清楚什么是未检测到新硬盘驱动器错误及其原因，然后从故障排除开始。

如何修复 Windows 10 PC 中未显示的硬盘驱动器^{(How to Fix Hard Drive Not Showing Up in Windows 10 PC)}

您的计算机需要硬盘驱动器来存储本地数据，例如文件、应用程序和其他重要信息。当机械硬盘 ( HDD )、固态硬盘 ( SSD ) 或外部USB硬盘连接到计算机时，Windows 10通常会自动识别和设置它。但是，硬盘驱动器，无论是新的还是旧的、内部的还是外部的，可能偶尔会停止出现在文件资源管理器或磁盘管理^{(File Explorer or Disk Management)}中，这可能表示各种问题。

未检测到新硬盘驱动器的问题可能从简单的烦恼到主要的烦恼。例如，它可能表明驱动器上的数据或与硬盘的电源连接存在物理问题。^{(drive or power connection)}但是，如果您的设备可以正常启动，则无需担心，因为磁盘仍在运行。但是，如果Windows 10无法从受影响的磁盘启动，您可能无法访问您的文件。

为什么硬盘不显示？^{(Why is Hard Drive Not Showing Up?)}

如果文件资源管理器^{(File Explorer)}中未显示硬盘，则：

• 它可能已停用或脱机^{(deactivated, or offline)}。
• 它也有可能还没有分配给它的驱动器号^{(drive letter assigned)}。
• 您正在尝试连接以前安装在另一台计算机上^{(previously installed on another computer)}的驱动器。
• 驱动器分区可能已损坏^(corrupt)。
• 它是从未配置过的原始磁盘。结果，它从未被格式化或初始化^{(never formatted or initialized)}。

您购买的新^(New)硬盘驱动器并不总是经过格式化并准备好使用，这与现成计算机随附的硬盘驱动器不同。相反，它们是完全空白的——最终用户可以对驱动器做任何他们想做的事情，因此不需要在制造商处进行预格式化或以其他方式进行更改。因此，当您将驱动器插入计算机时，Windows只会等待您决定如何处理它，而不是自动格式化并将其添加到驱动器列表中^{(drive list)}。但是，如果您以前从未在计算机中添加过硬盘，那么当驱动器似乎不见了时，可能会相当可怕。此处编译了解决问题的方法列表。实施^(Implement)每个方法一步一步，直到你得到一个修复。

初步检查：未检测到新硬盘
^{(Preliminary Checks: New Hard Drive Not Detected )}

您应该始终检查您的硬盘在BIOS中是否可见，以了解您的 PC 或硬盘是否存在问题。这是在Windows 10上进入BIOS的方法。

• 如果您的硬盘驱动器在BIOS中显示并且连接或运行正常，则问题出在Windows 操作系统^{(Windows OS)}上。
• 另一方面，如果硬盘没有出现在BIOS中，则很可能是连接不正确。

方法一：基本硬件故障排除^{(Method 1: Basic Hardware Troubleshooting)}

Fix Hard Drive Not Showing Up in Windows 10

You inserted a new hard disk in your computer, only to discover that it iѕ missing or undetectable. Therefore, we can оnly imagine how aggravating it is whеn the system displays hard drive not showing up errоr in Windows 10. In this situation, the whole data saved on the devіce may gеt corrupt or deleted. Whatever the cause, Windows operating system offers a number оf options for resolving the problem and regaining access to the drive. Lеt us start by figuring out what is the new hard drive not detected error, the reasons for it, and thereafter, begin wіth troubleshooting.

How to Fix Hard Drive Not Showing Up in Windows 10 PC

A hard drive is required for your computer to store local data such as files, applications, and other crucial info. When a mechanical hard disk (HDD), solid-state drive (SSD), or external USB hard drive is connected to a computer, Windows 10 will typically identify and set it up automatically. However, hard drives, whether new or old, internal or external, might occasionally stop appearing in File Explorer or Disk Management, which could signal a variety of issues.

The issue, new hard drive not detected, might range from a simple annoyance to a major one. It might, for example, indicate that there is a physical issue with the data on the drive or power connection to hard disk. However, if your device can boot up normally then, there is no need to worry as the disk is still functional. But, if Windows 10 is unable to start from the affected disks, you may lose access to your files.

Why is Hard Drive Not Showing Up?

If the hard disk is not shown in File Explorer, then:

• It is possible that it is deactivated, or offline.
• It is also possible that it does not have a drive letter assigned to it yet.
• You are trying to connect a drive that was previously installed on another computer.
• The drive partition may be corrupt.
• It is a raw disk that has never been configured. As a result, it was never formatted or initialized.

New hard drives you buy are not always formatted and ready to use, unlike the hard drive that comes with an off-the-shelf computer. Instead, they are completely blank–the idea being that the end-user will do anything they want with the drive, so pre-formatting or otherwise altering it at a manufacturer is not necessary. As a result, when you insert the drive into your computer, Windows just waits for you to decide what to do with it rather than formatting and adding it to the drive list automatically. However, if you have never added a hard disk to your computer before, it might be rather frightening when the drive appears to be gone. A list of methods to solve the problem is compiled here. Implement each method step by step until you attain a fix.
