USING A SSD WITH DATA ON IT

1. Make sure to disconnect the cable before opening the enclosure.
2. If you are using an SSD that already has a file-system and data on it, it should appear under your Computer after a few seconds of being powered on. In some cases, it may take up to 30 seconds.

NOTE: There are some exceptions. For instance, if you are trying to use an SSD that was pulled from a Linux or an Apple computer on a Windows computer, it might not work. This has nothing to do with your Sabrent enclosure, it happens because the Windows operating systems is not capable of seeing the file-system that is used in Linux or Apple computers.

DRIVE IS CONNECTED BUT MISSING IN FILE EXPLORER

• Open Disk Management with administrator permissions.

To do so, in the search box on the taskbar, type Disk Management, select and hold (or right-click) Disk Management, then select Run as administrator > Yes. If you can’t open it as an administrator, type Computer Management instead, and then go to Storage > Disk Management.

• In Disk Management, right-click on the disk that appears Oflline, then click Online (shown next).

USING A BRAND NEW HARD DISK

If you are using a brand new HOD, you might have to initialize it before you can use it.
NOTE: Only initialize a disk if you are absolutely sure it is a brand new disk and it does not have any of your data on it. The initializing process destroys all previous data and renders it irretrievable.

TO INITIALIZE NEW DISKS

1. Open Disk Management with administrator permissions.
   To do so, in the search box on the taskbar, type Disk Management, select and hold (or right-click) Disk Management, then select Run as administrator > Yes. If you can’t open it as an administrator, type Computer Management instead, and then go to Storage > Disk Management.

2. In Disk Management, right-click the disk you want to initialize, and then click Initialize Disk (shown here). If the disk is listed as Offline, first right-click it and select Online.

3. In the Initialize Disk dialog box (shown here), check to make sure that the correct disk is selected and then click OK to accept the default partition style. If you need to change the partition style (GPT or MBR), you can do it here. The disk status briefly changes to Initializing and then to the Online status.

4. Select and hold (or right-click) the unallocated space on the drive and then select New Simple Volume.

5. Select Next, specify the size of the volume (you’ll likely want to stick with the default, which uses the whole drive), and then select Next.

6. Specify the drive letter you want to assign to the volume and then select Next.

7. Specify the file system you want to use (usually NTFS), select Next, and then Finish.
