Unallocated disk space not showing up in disk management

I have an HP Proliant dl 380 running Windows 2008. My c:\drive was built on a 33 gig raid 1 partition. I am almost out of drive space. I have tried this method before on Windows server 2000 and it worked. However this time it did not. I took one
of the 33 gig drives out and put a 146 gig drive in it's place. I let the mirror rebuild itself. When it was done I put the other 146 gig drive in and let it rebuild. Now I still have the 33 gig partition but when I ran disk management
the unallocated space did not show up so I cannot extend the volume. I tried to rescan the drives and have device manager rescan as well but no go. I talked with hp and they had me update the firmware of the raid card and restart but still nothing.
Can anyone help?

  • Used disk space not showing up in finder

    A friend has asked me to look into his external hard drive issue.
    He got it back from a store that backed up his start-up drive to this external the other day to discover that there isn't any visible files on the drive. It does state that there is 100 gigs being used on the drive, the exact size of his back up, but there isn't one file or folder on the drive.
    I've used tinkertools to see if there was any hidden files with no luck and I've also repaired and verified the permission.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? I don't want to simply re-format without a clue why the 100 gigs isn't showing.

  • I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

    I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM.  My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore.  Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.  I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads.  Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system.  I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system.  But are there other options to connect the new TC.  Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above.  after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light  or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
    For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working.  Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
    Now a rant.  I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work.  The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network.  Are we going backwards?
    Thanks!
    lennydas

    Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
    I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
    I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
    I think this is mistaken.
    Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
    If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
    You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
    I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC.  the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
    Thanks again!
    You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
    You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
    But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
    Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
    For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

  • My usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

    my usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

    Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
    Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

  • Western Digital drive not showing up in disk utility--Help please.

    Hello all. This is my first post. I am having trouble with my WD 500GB external hard drive. It is not showing up in disk utility when connected either via the firewire or USB ports. I purchased the drive about 8months ago, brought it home and set it up as my Time Machine backup drive. It worked great for several months, until it got full. Then it stopped showing up on the desktop for no apparent reason. I discovered through reading support documents on the Apple web site that when I set the drive up initially I should have changed the partitioning protocol from master boot record to GUID, but I did not. I followed the apple web site instructions for making the change expos facto, but was instructed to press buttons that were "grayed out". As such, I couldn't do it. Perhaps foolishly, I thought that I would just start all over by reinitializing it, formatting it correctly (with my new found knowledge) and then do the time machine backup fresh. However, the drive no longer shows up in disk utility no matter how or in what order I connect it. When the drive is connected by firewire there is evidence of some recognition of the drive in system profiler, but it is listed as "External HDD Buttons and Lights". There is also evidence of the My Book showing up at a minimal level (eg. the firmware revision and a few other details are listed). On the front of the drive is a ring of blue lights that progress in a clockwise direction as soon as a connection is made via either firewire or USB. Before that it is solid blue. I have read through all the info that I can find on this site, and all the suggestions require the drive being recognized in disk utility. Without that, I am stuck. I know this must be a solvable problem, because the drive just a bucket of parts before it was manufactured. I just don't know enough to solve the problem or even know what qeustion to ask. I would really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long post.

    If you can't boot from an OSX DVD, it sounds bad. Yet I think you said you were running Disk Utility from the DVD?
    I got an external Firewire drive enclosure for 2.5 inch IDE drives from Other World Computing (OWC)
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MOTGFW400/ but similar items are available from many vendors like Newegg. About $60 for the basic model. More money can buy additional interfaces on the enclosure like FW800 and USB2; an AC adapter instead of letting the firewire bus power the drive (usually OK).

  • Windows based WD external hard drive not showing up in Disk Utility to reformat to Mac... how can I erase the drive

    We have a WD external harddrive previously used with a PC that we want to completely erase and reformat for use with our iMac desktop for use with Time Machine.  The drive shows up on the desktop of the Mac, but it does not show up in Disk Utlity, assuming because it's Windows format.  Outside of the standard "erase" feature in Disk Utility, is there any way to reformat this drive for Mac OS X?  Or how can I get this drive to show up in Disk Utility?  Note: The drive functions properly, has power, and we are able to view its current contents through the desktop icon, so it is a working drive.  And we are ok with losing all the current data on the drive.

    Hmm strange, I had just moved my external Lacie drive from my windows machine to my iMac and it was showing up in disk utility still formatted fat32 or whatever. I would disconnect the drive and restart the machine then replug the drive and try again.
    Also not that it will make a difference ( I dont think it will but hey why not ) try accessing disk utility from the install disk?

  • Some videos are semi-missing - they do not show up in File Manager apps or another app

    I have what I will call three FILER apps: File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander.  I also have MovieSRTPlayer.  Those apps appear to not register the presence of some video files that I have definitely copied to my PB.  The MovieSRTPlayer will overlay a .srt file's text over a video allowing the pb to show subtitles.  It works as long as it can find the video and srt files.
    I am definitely transferring a series of video files to the pb's video folder.  I am also transferring a companion file to that folder.  The companion file is a subtitle file in the form of an .SRT file.
    THREE file manager type apps do NOT show those files as present in the video folder.  The Video app itself does show and play those video files. 
    I have copied the files using both wifi-sharing and when they did not show up that way, I copied them using the usb cable to the pb's Z: drive and the video folder.
    As stated the dam! files play in the video app.  But they do not appear in the various filer apps.  And they also do not show in another app, one that will display the subtitle (.srt file) file overlaying the video.  In all instances it is as if the pb does not register the presence of those files on the pb.
    Now, what is interesting is that when this first cropped up, 7 files were missing - just a mix of video (no .srt files involved).  That is they showed in the video app and played but the filer programs did not show them.  I managed last night and this morning to get 7 of those to finally show by copying/moving/deleting and recopying.  But now I'm running into this brick wall again.  I have repeatedly copied two video (avi files) and their companion .srt files to the video folder.  They are in that folder (I've looked using usb and wifi-sharing) and they play in the PB's video app.  They are most certainly on my pb.
    Oh, and yes, I've rebooted a number of times. 
    Ideas?

    I have what I call 3 file manager apps.  File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander (the older free version). 
    They all show or don't show the same thing.  So files are missing.  And SIZE is not the sole determining factor.  When I was testing MovieSRT and "lost" some files I copied and renamed avi and .srt files.  So there are two extra .srt files in the Video folder.  But while they are 32kb (kilobytes) and 58kb respectively, they do NOT show up in the File managers.  The other two identical files with the names matching the .avi files do show up.  The one very large mp4 (2gb) does not show up.  A subfolder I created just as a test does not show up.  But the large mp4 and subfolder were showing up while I was actively copying the 2gb file - they would show up as the file was being copied - the filemanagers showed the file getting larger and larger and while doing so the "missing" subfolder also kept showing up.  Then once the large file was completely copied, both it and the subfolder "disappeared" - again, the large mp4 does show in the Video app and it plays.
    My persistence probably is based on the fact I was a computer programmer many eons ago!  Also, I was trying to get YOUR app to work and the avi files were not showing up in your listing but they were showing and playing in Video app (but no subtitles).  Finally, after copying/moving/re-copying over and over including moving and copying to the PB's Print folder (just since it was empty) and copying it back to the video folder (now 2 copies), the files would finally show up.  Peculiar - yup!
    Oh, one other thing - the 3 file managers all show what I will call the virtual Playbook-Demo video in their listings - your app does NOT show it.  Obviously, it is not located in the Video Folder but somewhere in the bowels of the PB.  So, the filemanagers  are relying on some "file structure" that is not fully correct.  But your app does not appear to show it.

    regards

    Thanks Mylenium,
    I appreciate the response. I was confused because precisely I own the full CS6 Production Premium and Encore is there, I was unaware that it was deprecated in CC. Oh well...also I remember Adobe Story in Creative Cloud last year did show up so I was confused as to why it was not showing up now.
    So Adobe Story is only cloud based now? hmmm...not sure how I feel about that one.
    Anyway, thanks for the reply and all my best.

  • Portable Hard Drive will not show up in Disk Utility

    I purchased a Toshiba Canvio Slim 500 GB hard drive a few months ago before I updated my computer to Mac OSX Version 10.6.8. I was running out of Hard Drive Space since I bought my computer in 2009 and decided to use a portable hard drive to store some of my personal information. I was able to read and successfully transfer data to the hard drive, but then I updated my computer to 10.6.8 and now I can't access it at all. It won't even show up in Disk Utility. I read on a few forums that some people were having the same problem as I was and they bought a y-cable adapter to power the hard drive through two usb cables. I bought one and tried it out and I'm still not having any luck. I tried using my girlfriend's computer to see if I can access it from her computer and it shows up in disk utility, but I can't access it. The lights turn on and I can hear it working like it worked the first day I used it, but nothing is happening. Please help me fix the problem.

    Evidence, as scant as it is from Disk Utility, suggests the Toshiba external
    HDD is indeed without Partion Map Scheme, has no files on it, unformatted.
    So I wonder if there isn't a wire or defective circuit inside the box (enclosure)
    that may be hiding access to the actual HDD unit inside there. Those kinds
    of enclosures generally use a laptop 2.5" HDD since they can run on USB
    power from the port. Matching up the internal HDD from that case, with an
    other one with correct life support (connections) is a way to test it.
    However if the Toshiba HD is a 3.5" standard drive, a larger enclosure, or
    an adapter that simply plugs into the connections of the bare hard drive,
    would be a way to access that external drive. These 'drive adapters' can
    work with both SATA and IDE hard drives; or just one of the two. They
    run in the range of $40 or so, and essentially are a wire kit with a power
    adapter to spin the drive, but some do not even have the adapter, so as
    to still use USB power for smaller drives of slower disc RPM speed.
    Most competent computer stores with a skilled staff would know of these.
    However some of the smaller HDD enclosures may be hard to open up.
    And if there were a Toshiba warranty, this action could void the same.
    Adapters would be to 'test the idea of recovering any data,' if enclosure
    the drive shipped in has somehow developed a defect. Though it may
    be if there is a defect, it may have existed at a point in time to affect
    the actual save-to-disk process. Or later. A wire could be not allowing
    information to be received, if broken or circuit damages, by the Mac.
    But by the look of the Disk Utility's partition map, along with the other
    earlier image that shows the same info in the bottom of the image of
    the status, in Disk Description, this does not bode well for recovery.
    I'm not sure what else to suggest. When the dust settles, Toshiba may
    have a residual warranty that could only replace that one with another.
    Some older mailorder catalogs show these kinds of adapters, some use
    USB port power, others also include an AC adapter so standard faster
    HDDs can be used without an enclosure. This also helps if one wants
    temporary access to a hard disk drive, but does not want to install it.
    •USB drive cable adapter kit SATA and IDE HDD - google results:
    https://www.google.com/#q=USB+drive+cable+adapter+kit+SATA+and+IDE+HDD
    Companies also make hot-swap docks to allow fast swapping of HDDs
    of either or both 2.5" and 3.5" size, these have their own adapter and
    one simply puts drives inside from the top, like a bread toaster.
    Hopefully you can take the Toshiba along to a computer store and ask
    a somewhat skilled person there about getting the cable adapter kit or
    another enclosure. The cable adapter would cost less & be quicker, yet
    that would still involve opening up the failed HDD's enclosure for access.
    Good luck & happy computing!
