I've seen possibly 10-20 posts about this, none of them have my solution.
My C: (128 gb) drive which holds all my files for Windows and my documents is untouched, appears in BIOS and appears in Disk Management/Device Management.
My D: (1 tb) drive, which holds my games, and other huge files shows up in BIOS, but not anywhere else (device management, Disk management, etc.)
Please, do not tell me to simply add a partition or initialize it. Seems to be a common trend on these posts where people don't read it and just say to do that. I can't as it does not show up in Disk Management.
The events leading up to this are as follows:
3 days ago, turn of my computer. Nothing prior to this has had anything go wrong with my drives.
2 days ago, my D: drive does not appear when I turn my computer on. What do I do? Turn off my computer by using the button of the chassis to enable a hard reset. Works perfect. Use it for 3-4 hours before turning it off and going away. Turn it back on 2 hours later, no problems at all.
Yesterday, again, no problems!
Today, I turned my computer on, and it was fine. But about 3 hours into use, I noticed that one of my games running in the background (Garry's Mod on Steam) had shutdown immediately, which is stored in the D: drive, with no warning. Wanting to check crash logs, I tried to open up the D: drive and it was gone. BIOS still recognized it though.
I tried switching around SATA cables, looked at this forum for 2 hours and did all the solutions, nothing happened. Still not responding.
Specs:
GTX 1660 Graphics Card
AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 925 Processor
Motherboard (not sure specific build because pretty old, but manufacturer): FOXCONN
2x8 Corsair 16GB (forget specific model, pretty sure its the Vengeance line)
Power: EVGA 650 Watt (plenty more than need by 100 watts)
Yes, I have checked in another computer and the drive works fine. SATA cables are also not the problem, as swapping them around changes nothing.
