I noticed my PC was taking a long time to shut down last night. Nothing was on the screen and there wasn't any notifications of a windows update. After a few minutes of waiting, I forced shut down my pc by pressing and holding the power button. This morning when I went to turn on my pc, I noticed immediately that it boots up very slowly and that Windows was scanning and repairing my D: drive, which it got to 100%. However, my pc is extremely slow to boot, and to log in as well as having lost contact with my 1TB Western Digital SSD (WDS100T2B0A) D:/ drive. After attempting to gain access to the drive in window explorer, I get an error the partition D doesn't exists. Furthermore, when I looked up the drive to see the partition, it is now RAW instead of NTFS.

Also, after a few more restarts, my pc is stuck in a loop of scanning and fixing D drive. I also can't seem to run some windows programs, nor initiate a reinstall of Windows as the the process doesn't start.

I've tried to reformat the drive, but I got a pop up of an I/O device error and the formatting couldn't go through.

So as to stop from myself from doing anymore potentially harm, my question is, what can I do to fix this issue? and what other information can I provide to help out?
