Hard Drive not being found in disk management

[EwanF]

so i think i have a big problem

i was using my pc today and then all of a sudden it froze. so i reset it and it brought me to the blue windows 10 logo and and the spinning logo sign and it just spun and spun.

then i decided to restart and it did the same (it wasn't even showing the bios) eventually i got logged on and i discovered that one of my drives wasn't detected. 

I have 1 250GB Samsung 850 evo (OS), a 1Tb Seagate barracuda and a 1Tb WD blk (Games). the Seagate drive i use for mass storage e.g downloads, documents pictures etc etc. this was the one not detected.

when i click on documents or downloads it says: Location not available. D:\Downloads is unavailable. if the location is on this PC, make sure that the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, then try again.... If the location can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted.

so far the drive has been detected in the BIOS and not in disk management and i listened to the drive and it is still spinning.

 

Is this Drive dead or can it be fixed

if it is dead can i recover anything from it

 

Thanks

Looks like the drive is dead.

 

Go to a data recovery center, and never buy that harddrive again. Modern Seagate harddrives are cheap but prone to failing.

Get a WD or an HGST drive next time.

so what are the chances that i will be able to get lets say all or most of the photos that are saved on the drive?

I would personally try and run a Linux distro from USB stick (Ubuntu is likely the easiest) and see if you can read the HDD from there. It could be just the file system being corrupted.
