Or, you can press Win+R, type "msinfo32" in the Run box, then open Components-->
Storage-->Disks-->check the Bytes/sector of the drive.

5. Please check whether or not the drive is a dynamic disk. Disk Master doesn't support backing up/cloning dynamic disk by using Disk Backup/Disk Clone. Please use System Backup/Partition Backup to back up it or System Clone/Partition Clone to clone it.
Running Qiling Disk Master in WinPE
The most likely reason is that the WinPE is lack the driver for the drive (such as RAID adaptor drivers). You need to make a new WinPE disk. When you are making it, you can add the corresponding driver to the WinPE manually.
