How to manage and initialize hard disks in Windows 11

I never get a message to initialize the disc. Can you suggest what to do?

Thank you, big help <3

This video really helped me a lot! However, I would recommend adding the steps that need to be taken afterwards to allocate the disk as a basic data, partition, storage volume.

Finally! Some useful information! Thank you so much... been looking all over for this!

Hey Robert, when I select to initialize a disk, I am getting an error stating "Disk not ready" and sometimes "cyclical redundancy check" how do I get around this, as I am still unable to access my disks

thank god this video exists

there was no Initialize Disk pop up, Im using asus rog strix g15 2021, windows 11 home

Thanks for the help I just got a 8TB hard drive and I didn’t want to mess it up so thank you

Thanks, I moved to Windows 11 but was at a loss for finding the old tools as I am a Linux guy. Windows 11 feels like when Microsoft released Windows Me in 2000. So I am now calling it Me reloaded! Your video helped a lot. My 6TB disk is now ready for use. Thank you!

Thank you

My setting menu looks different, can’t find manage discs and volumes

Thanks much, for the life of me don't understand why disk management in 11 and 10 don't mean the same thing, lol

Gooood and simple explanation

Good video 😀
