[SOLVED] HDD turned to unknown and uninicialized after reboot

[rendss]

Hello,

I have two disks in my PC, SSD and HDD. On SSD I have installed Windows and few games and on the HDD I have all my data. A few minute ago I have been playing a game, game freezes and I had to reboot PC. After reboot I see my HDD as unknown and it is not inicialized, but I can see it in disk manager. I have a lots of for me valuable data on my disk and don't want to lose it. Can I inicialize it again? Or what should I do to save my data? It haven't make any sounds of dying disk. Please help.

Thank you

Your data is probably lost (where is the backup?).

The best hope of regaining your data files is to contact a company spechialized in data recovery.

If you're going on thinking do recovery yourselv, then there is a risk that you loose the files for good when attemting to use some questionable data recovery software.
So you're with two options : try recover yourselv (cheaper but also greater risk of loose all data permanently) - or having a professional company to recover your data (expensive and less risk to loose all data).

So I guess it boils down to how important your data is for you and how much you're willing to pay to retreive those.

Thanks for reply.
Yes, I know, I'm very irresponsible for not having back up, it's my fail and now I'm gonna pay for it. I will probably won't try anything alone and will hand it to specialists to recover my data.

What is your backup situation at home?

What is your backup situation at home? And if you don't do that, why not? Every single day, I read multiple threads here of "How do I get my stuff back?" or "That drive had 5 years of photos of my kids!!" Be it a dead drive, dropped phone, virus, accidental deletion, formatting the wrong...
