ADD NEW DISK
Hi all.
Think I've done something stupid.
I have 2 external USB 3 drives. Both working perfectly. I wanted to clone my C drive to one of these. When I select 'Clone Disk' only one of the discs is available to use as the target drive, the other is listed but greyed out. This is where the stupid bit comes. I decided to select 'add new disk.' Now the greyed out drive was visible so I proceeded to add it. When the process was complete Acronis advised me that the disc had been added. However, now neither windows nor Acronis will recognize the drive. HELP if you can please. Thanks in anticipation. Martin.
WIN 7 64 bit
i7 processor
16gb Ram
Disk in question Hitachi 2TB USB 3 Drive

Hey there.
Thanks so much for your speedy reply.
Thankfully the disk had no data on it. I tried the disk in another machine and followed your instructions. As you said, it was unallocated and awaiting format. I formatted it and now all is good.
Thanks again,
All the very best,
Martin.
