Harddrive gone missing

[redbullvodka]

Hello

 

So, I have 3 SSDs and 1 HDD in my pc.One SSD for bootdrive, two for games, and the HDD for masstorage and documents like resumes and shit that I'd like to save. HDD is not old, like one year max, 1TB.

 

2 days ago, no issues, I could watch my 100% legally obtained movies (don't question it) and all that, but yesterday it just straight up disappeared from my file explorer. It still exists in BIOS and in diskmanager, no issues there, but it's just gone. I don't know where to start looking even xd

Disk managment sees the disk? Does it show the partitions on it?

Look in Disk Management and see if it still has a drive letter. The drive may have set itself to Offline (don't know why that would happen though).

damn, you were right, it didn't have a drive letter. It's pretty damn empty now, no idea what could've happened to it, but it exists again atleast

Well, don't format it. You may be able to recover a lot of the data.
