I have 2 drives in my computer, 1x 124gb ssd and 1x 1TB HDD and whenever i left my pc on for extended periods of time i used to see the message "Disc 1 extracted" while waking from sleep and after checking System i only had my ssd visible.
To make things even weirder if i pressed the reset button then my pc would freeze many times before loading windows, later i discovered that unplugging and plugging again the power chord fixed the problem and my hdd was visible again.
For about 2-3 weeks i kept doing that whenever my computer started to freeze, but now my hdd wont appear anymore, its been 3 days like that. Is it completly dead?

PD: Sorry for bad englando, i'm argentinian.

Sorry for bad englando.

Run smart utility on the disk? Plug the hdd into a different port?

What are the specs of your machine? Some chipsets don't play well with certain drives.

 

Try running CrystalDiskInfo and HDAT2 and see if anything is amiss.

 

You can also try deleting System32, works for me almost every time.

Why the hell would you delete the system32 folder?

Why would you mix the two? The OP may think you're serious and delete it thinking it'll help. If the whole post was a joke, fine. But the 2/3 statements were serious.
