Topic: Hard Disk not detected

Hello,

I have an Asus T101HA where years ago I had installed in dual boot Phoneix OS, a failed attempt to bring Android on my device.

Now I want to restore all the hard disk for Windows and I created a live flash drive with GParted, but the software detects only the flash drive and not the hard disk with the two partitions.

I've already disabled the Secure Boot.

Can you please help me? Thanks a lot.

Re: Hard Disk not detected

GParted shows a single disk device at a time.

Do the other disk devices appear in GParted -> Devices, or in the drop-down list in the upper right corner of the GParted window?

Thanks for your reply. Sadly no, only the usb flash drive appears (/dev/sda).

Please provide the output from the following commands:

sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda
sudo lsblk -o name,maj:min,rm,size,ro,type,fstype,label,mountpoint

Sorry for the photo, I know it's not the best way to show terminal output.

Re: Hard Disk not detected

With the missing device name being /dev/mmcblk0, this is a repeat of [SOLVED] eMMC drive not detected...?.

Workarounds are to either use GParted 1.2 or name the device on the command line.
