Diskpart List Volume There Are No Volumes (Fixed with 2 Ways )

Scenario

Why volume not showing up in Diskpart?

Whenever you do an operation with external hard drive, you are required to make sure that the external hard drive must be recognized by your computer. That's to say, if your external hard drive cannot be recognized, you cannot use it as normal.

To Microsoft Window users, the computer recognizes your external hard drive by its file systems. There are four files system Windows can distinguish, including old DOS, FAT, FAT32 and the widely-used NTFS. If you create a volume with other file system and try to check the detail information in Diskpart, you'll receive the error message.

In addition, when you check the detailed information of the internal hard drive, you still can receive this error message if you delete a partition mistakenly or the partition is lost owing to changes in your operating system, virus, spyware infection or a newly installed drive. Both cases will lead to unallocated space on the hard drive. After your partition becomes unallocated space, the system may not recognize it.
