DiskPart is a disk partitioning utility that uses the command line to perform operations. The DiskPart utility can be used to manage hard disks, USB flash drives and other partitions, including creating partitions, deleting partitions, merging (extending) partitions, etc.
However, some users have reported receiving the Diskpart error: Diskpart there are no volumes. This error occurs when you try to use Diskpart to check the details of a disk.
Why Does Diskpart List Volume There Are No Volumes
When you enter the disk details in Diskpart, you receive the error: There are no Volume. However, this does not mean that there is no data on the external hard drive, just that there may be some data that the computer does not recognize.
For Windows users, the computer recognizes your external hard drive by its file system. If you create a volume using another file system and try to check the details in Diskpart, you will receive an error message.
When you check the internal hard drive details, you will still get this error message if you deleted the partition by mistake or the partition was lost due to operating system changes, virus, or newly installed drive. Both situations result in unallocated space on the hard drive. When your partition becomes unallocated space, the system may not recognize it.
