Hello,
Thank you for your response with the details.
I understand that the system displays a different error message when you
try opening the disk manager MMC console.
Please try the following suggestions:
Step 1:
Make sure that you log on as a administrator.
Step 2:
1. From Start, click Run, input services.msc in the Open box and press
Enter.
2. Double click on "Plug and Play" change "startup type" to "automatic"
3. Check whether or not the Remote Procedure Call, Logical Disk
Mangement and Logical Disk Manager services are running.
4. If not, start them manually.
Step 3:
If the issue still exists, please boot the computer into Safe Mode for
testing.
1. Restart the computer.
2. Keep press F8 key until the Windows Startup menu appears.
3. Choose the Safe Mode, and press Enter.
4. Can you open Disk Management in Safe Mode? If the disk
management tool fails to run in safe mode, please execute the sfc /scannow
command. The following link provides you more information about sfc command.

Do let us know the result.
Thank you,

| Rashi! My friend... It didn't work. :c) It did change somethings
though.
| The error message changed. It's now "the dependency service or group
failed
| to start" The Logical Disk Manager now appears in the "Sevices" dialog,
| where it did not appear before, but I cannot start it manually either.
| That's some progress, but it still isn't working. Can you help me again?
|
| Thank you very much!
