Hey, so my 1TB WD Green (WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1) was working fine before then suddenly it disappeared earlier today... I checked it in the BIOS and it's still there, yet, when I open Device Manager and Disk Management it is completely gone...

It shows briefly upon startup though, but when I click it I get a

"Location is not available
D:\ is not accessible.
A device which does not exist was specified."
and also, when I check the properties I get a 0 size.

I'm really hoping it's still alive, I just can't pinpoint what the problem is. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

EDIT: Maybe it's worth mentioning that I use AMD's StoreMI? But, I never StoreMI'd this particular drive so I don't think that it's the problem.
