Very specific question I hope someone here has seen before or can lead me towards a solution.
I have a 5TB Seagate that I use as a shared drive in Windows 10. All of a sudden it stopped showing up in Windows both in file explorer and in disk management, I'm using the latest Windows 10.
I thought maybe the drive failed but it's not. It shows up in BIOS, I can still read and write to it if I plug it in via a external USB HD reader. It just doesn't show in Windows. I have tried switching SATA and SATA power with known working drives. I'm pretty good with this stuff normally but not sure about this one. I'm thinking maybe something in the network share may have caused a Windows Registry corruption. Any ideas out there?
I did recently update the boot drive to an SSD, the only thing i can see that may have caused the problem. issue is there are so many drives on this computer I'm not sure if this happened right after the upgrade.
