If you encounter issues, please refer to the common problems and solutions below. If the problem persists, contact cenmate technical support.
Image: Common troubleshooting questions and solutions.
Q1: After connecting a new hard drive, why can't I find it or see a disc letter?
A1: After connecting a new hard drive, it must be formatted before your system can recognize and use it. In Windows, right-click 'This PC' (or 'My Computer'), then click 'Manage', open 'Disk Management'. Find the new hard drive, right-click to 'Initialize Disk' (choose MBR for drives ≤ 2TB or GPT for drives > 2TB), then create a 'New Simple Volume' and follow the prompts to format the partition. After formatting, the drive will be ready for use.
K2: Disk di a parèt nan fòma RAW nan Jesyon Disk akòz move ekstraksyon oswa pann kouran. Kisa mwen ta dwe fè?
A2: You may attempt recovery using the chkdsk command. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type chkdsk I: /f (replace 'I' with the actual drive letter). This will scan and attempt to repair the drive. A reboot may be required.
Q3: The hard drive is dynamically invalid in Disk Management because it was previously removed from an old computer.
A3: This is a system-related issue. Reinstall the hard drive into its original computer motherboard and back up the data. If the old computer is unavailable, you may need dynamic disk conversion software to convert it to a basic disk.
Q4: Hard drive shows up but has no disc letter.
A4: In Disk Management, right-click on the disk partition section and select 'Change Drive Letter and Paths' to assign a drive letter for use.
Q5: The enclosure automatically disconnects during transmission and then reconnects after a while.
A5: This could be due to issues with the computer's USB interface, the USB cable, computer USB drivers, the hard drive itself, or the hard drive enclosure. Please contact cenmate technical support for assistance in diagnosing and resolving the problem.
