You need to jump into the disk controller setup during POST, it will tell you the keys to press (Control-G or something). Then verify that the controller can see the drives and verify the health of the RAID array virtual drive if you created one. It is the easiest way to fix disk unknown not initialized issue.This also works to initialized a brand new hard drive. Just right-click 'My Computer' 'Manage' to run Disk Management. Here, right-click the hard drive and click 'Initialize Disk'.

• Easy to use
  USBTrace is an easy-to-use USB protocol analyzer. To analyze a USB device, just select the device and click the 'capture' button. See USBTrace Quick Start Guide.

• Sniffs USB requests at all levels
  With USBTrace you can analyze USB protocol traffic at USB Host Controllers, USB Hubs and USB devices. The tool captures and displays USB Control, Bulk, Interrupt & Isochronous transfers.

• Displays detailed device information
  USBTrace decodes and displays both standard and class specific USB descriptors (Device, Hub, Configuration, Interface, Endpoint, Class Specific, IAD, String) and Windows enumeration information.

• USBTrace does not use any filter drivers
  Unlike other software based USB analyzers, USBTrace does not use any filter driver to capture the USB requests. So USBTrace will not disturb/slow down the PnP system due to its presence.

• Captures all USB protocol data during device enumeration
  USBTrace is capable of capturing all USB requests exchanged between the host controller/hub and the device during device enumeration. See USB Enumeration Explained to know how USBTrace is different from other USB monitor software.

• Define your own data decoding templates in XML
  In addition to automatically decoding standard/class specific USB requests/descriptors USBTrace also lets you define custom templates for decoding data buffer of requests in XML. Know more

• Displays valuable information for device driver developers
  The IRP, URB and IO_STACK_LOCATION structures associated with each captured request is decoded and displayed by USBTrace. Also, in addition to capturing URBs, USBTrace captures Internal USB IOCTLs, User mode USB IOCTLs, PnP and Power IRPs. See Complete List of USB requests captured by USBTrace.

  USBTrace also allows device driver developers to capture USB requests made/received by any device object in the USB device stack.

• Supports device class decoding / Write your own vendor specific class decoder
  USBTrace can decode class specific usb descriptors/requests and display detailed information regarding them. The classes currently supported are Hub, HID, Mass Storage, Bluetooth, Wireless USB HWA, Still Image Capture, Printer, Audio, Video, Smart Card, Vendor specific device class etc. Read more about USB device class decoding

• Export Captured Data & Detailed Device Information
  Captured data can be exported as HTML, XML, Text or CSV reports. Detailed device information can also be exported. This feature will help you to document the device behavior as well as to share the captured data/device details in an easily readable form with others.

  USBTrace also allows device driver developers to capture USB requests made/received by any device object in the USB device stack.

• USBTrace can be setup to automatically capture hot plugged devices

  With this option enabled, USBTrace will capture USB requests from all newly plugged devices. This option can be used to monitor USB requests during device enumeration. Read about capturing hot plugged devices.

• Search and Filter captured requests

  Advanced search feature allows you to search the capture log for request types and/or buffer contents of requests.

  The filtering feature allows you to exclude requests which you are not interested in while capturing. You can also apply filters based on endpoint addresses.

• Comments and Bookmarks

  Comment and Bookmark features help you to document the captured USB protocol data by adding notes and highlights.

• View & export detailed device information

  View USB Device, Hub, Configuration, Interface, Endpoint descriptors & Windows specific USB enumeration information. Device information can be exported as an HTML or text file.

• Supports device class decoding
  USBTrace can decode class specific usb descriptors/requests and display detailed information regarding them. Read more about USB device class decoding

• Fully compatible with ACPI features

  You can shutdown, hibernate or standby your system while running USBTrace.

• Saving captured data

  The captured USB protocol data can be saved for storage and for viewing later.

• Export log as HTML, XML, Text or CSV reports

  The Export Utility allows you to export the captured USB transactions as an HTML, XML, text or CSV file, in addition to the native USBTrace binary file format.

• Background capturing for improved performance

  Background capturing facilitates high performance capture sessions. The GUI is not updated while capturing. The logged transactions are displayed only when capture operation is stopped.

• Continuous capturing for non stop analysis.

  For a normal capture session, USBTrace will stop capture operation when the internal log data buffer is full. With continuous capturing, this will not happen. When the buffer is full, instead of stopping capture, USBTrace will wrap around the buffer and start writing data again from the beginning.Continuous capturing simulates an infinite buffer.
  Read more about Background and Continuous Capture.

• Capture device traffic directly to file.

  Using this feature you can route the data captured from devices directly to a file on your hard disk (or any other storage device). The user interface will not be updated during capture operation. This results in high performance capture sessions which can capture large amount of data. This feature also helps to debug unstable or faulty systems by ensuring that the captured data is not lost even if the system crashes/restarts during capturing. Read more about capturing data direclty to file.

• Trigger

  Trigger facility allows you to define a condition and capture operation will stop automatically when that condition is satisfied.

• Performance Statistics

  Performance Statistics feature allows you to extract a lot of valuable performance related information from the captured data. The values of various performance counters and Read/Write data transfer rate graph are displayed. Performance statistics can be exported as an HTML or text file.

• Set any captured request as 'time 0' request

  Any request in capture log view can be set as the timing reference request using this feature. The timestamp of the selected request will be set to zero and those of others will be marked relative to this reference request. This feature is helpful to find the timing of various USB transactions in reference to a selected transaction.

• Send support requests and check for updates directly from the application

  In case you need support you can contact USBTrace Support Team directly from the application (See the program's help menu).
