Hi all,
My PC recently crashed while I was installing a game on Epic Games, and when I rebooted the drive didn't appear in "This PC". I went to disk management and the drive appears there as "unknown, not initialized, unallocated". When I try initialize it I get the error "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error". My PC is fairly new so I don't think the drive is broken, but the solutions I've found online are still giving me the same errors. I don't use the drive much so it wasn't too big of a deal, but when I tried to reinstall epic games launcher it says "Invalid Drive D:", so even a fresh version of the installer won't work for me, which renders a few of my games unplayable. Hopefully someone can help me fix this headache!
