im a game dev and recently i reinstalled windows, and noticed that my disc D was missing i almost had a heart attack 2 times now, one when i noticed it was gone, and one when it came back (with the 5th solution) words cannot begin to describe how gratefull i am, Thank you, very much, kind sir
The instructions were clear and easy to follow, unfortunately, I tried them all and none worked. All my choices were grayed out. So, I've got a terrabyte unallocated drive for which I have no 'Rename' option. Frustrating.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. The first piece of advice was the best - don't panic! When Solution 1 didn't work, looked at the "system restore" panel. While looking around there, I noticed that my windows update was only partly completed. So I shut down my computer, let it update, and my 2 other hard drives returned. You are terrific!!!!!
All i had to do was to shut down my desktop, wait to shutdown completely, unplug it, hold down the power button to reset, plug power back up, power on & got my D drive back, :)
Me too. Apparently you have to take away the power and give it a few moments to think about the error of its ways 😀 The PC had been off for a few days, and before then I'd had it on continuously for about a week, and in the meantime there was a Win 10 update that went into action when I turned the PC on today. It seemed to take forever, and then it just went completely black screen for an even longer time (no hourglass, no cursor, no mouse, but the monitor's power lamp was still blue, indicating it was active). So I forced a reboot which appeared to be fine - until I discovered that my 1Tb D drive and all of my data simply weren't there. Disk Management showed C drive only and rescanning changed nothing. Two restarts changed nothing. Forcing shutdown and unplugging for about 10 seconds totally worked. You suggest the additional step of pressing the power button while still unplugged, and I've read about doing that (to "flush" the capacitors) and I didn't do this, but unplugging and waiting a bit (also recommended when rebooting your modem and router) worked fine for me.
@@marvello8684 well if u went to bios and didnt see your drive then its probably dead and u cant fix it, u can try to change sata or power cable if u r lucky it might fix it
If you have tried all the ways explained and didn’t work, your drive is most likely loose. Try to unscrew your laptop and fix that. You can put a hard paper to cover the space left in the drive slot. I struggled with my drive for months until I discovered that and fixed, it worked. All the best
Very good video, easy to follow all the solutions. I had a missing D disk after installation of windows 10 on my laptop, but through your video I managed retreiving it. Thanks a lot! :D
thank you soo much my drive has been gone for months and after this video i have gotten it back. thanks for making the video and keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! Method 5 work for me. Glad that I was not that worried about my missing drive after changing my laptop from windows 10 32-bit to 64-bit.
Good video. D: disappeared with crucial office data. What a ruckus it caused! The suggestions in video didn't help but as someone in the comments mentioned, removing laptop battery, removing the SSD, cleaning the connectors and removing dust and putting them back resolved the issue. Gosh. What a stress and thank you to everyone for the great comments and suggestions.
Thank you very much for sharing this video. Though none actually works for me but as i read comments in here and from other videos I saw someone's comment that he just turned off his computer for a few minutes and turned it on. I did the same...bwalaahh it actually works!!! I got my drive D & E back!! just sharing this.. might also works on others. Good luck guys!
Solved my problem... until now. It's happening again. The only one solution for me is restarting my computer every time I see that my D drive is missing, but don't want to do that again and again. Maybe something's up with my OS and I should reinstall it? Before that I will try updating it because there is an available update.
If someone still can't fix the issue, just make sure that the cable connecting the drive is still and secured. This was the case for me. Replugging the cable soved my problems
Hi there, thank you for your question. If your hard drive is vibrating and making strange noises, it is likely a sign of hardware issues, and there is a possibility that the drive is failing or has already failed.
If this video didn't work, and this issue happened right after doing things inside your pc, chanses are, like me, you broke your SATA port for your hard drive. To fix, just swap the cable of your hard drive to a different SATA port, and make sure it is in good.
First time I am commenting, for me it just seems like my drive was just erased or something but your video save my money and tension you doing great work 😉😉👌👌
The 5th solution worked for me! Something borked my files and I had to reinstall windows. When I did and was reinstalling my apps I noticed my D drive wasn't there.
Hi there, thank you for your question! If you have tried all common methods to fix a connected but not appearing disk in File Explorer, there are a few other solutions to try. You can open Disk Management by typing "diskmgmt.msc" in the Run dialog box, right-click on the disk that is not showing up, select "Change Drive Letter and Paths", click "Add", and choose a drive letter that is not in use. Alternatively, you can use Command Prompt as an administrator and type "diskpart", then "list disk" to see all connected disks, identify the problematic disk, type "select disk X" (replace "X" with the disk number), "clean" to wipe the disk, "create partition primary" to create a new partition, and "assign letter=X" (replace "X" with the desired letter). Additionally, it is worth checking for hardware issues by trying a different USB port or cable, or connecting the disk to another computer to see if it appears there.
Tried all of the options and none worked. I don't have any unallocated drives, I just have one drive (hard drive) and my local drives D and E disappeared. What do I do?
Let me share my problem encountered and how I fixed it. 1. Drive D is not showing up. So I followed the first step. 2. I see the "hidden" partition but the file system is RAW. 3. I right-click to the RAW partition and clicked "format" and make it NTFS. 4. After the formatting is done, I right-click again the partition and clicked on "change driver and paths..." 5. I assigned D and now the system can now read the "hidden" drive partition. Just sharing. Might as well work on someone else' situation.
Hi Michael, Good Day, first of all thanks alot for this informative video, i really loved your content. I have tried all your steps that you have mentioned in this video, but unfortunately it did not fix my issue. So what worked for me is as below: 1. I tried to update all the pending windows updates along with the firmware for devices. You can check if you have any pending updates by navigating from: Start-> Settings-> Update and Security-> Windows Update If you have any pending updates on firmware DO FINISH those updates because it what fixed my issue. 2. (optional) Try reconneing you hard drive cables in the laptop and do a restart. Kindly Pin my comment as it would be helpful to other people if you can. Cheers!
Thank you for posting this comment. None of the other methods were working for me, but I checked the updates. Did find various pending and updated all. After restart, my D drive came back as it was. A big thanks!!!
Thanks a million. I just totally blanked suddenly missing local drive . But used his tricks and get back just few seconds. Really awesome and helpful. Thanks again
Hello, I wish you could help me. I try those methods but my SSD is not showing. Here are the things it's mysterious. My SSD shows to the Disk manager It's Ramsta SSD however when I check in disk management is not there so frustrating I need to use this SSD on my laptop.
When I went on device manager and disk drives my ssd showed up and said it’s working fine. However it’s not showing up and files that were downloaded or saved on that drive are now saying they are not found. Also on disk management the drive doesn’t show up I only have C drive on there
After using photoshop for a while i noticed it was freezing a lot and my D Drive as maxed out at 100% and after that my D Drive just 'Disappeared'. Ever since, my D Drive would be showing in my file explorer but when i try to open something on it, the disk usage goes to 100% and the Drive disappears again. If you've had a similar experience then please reply
i got similar problem, i was using adobe premiere pro and when i did some editing, program suddenly freeze for a 10 seconds then worked normal. But when i try to open a Steam game, it showed that my D drive is missing. I disassembled the computer, removed the ssd then plugged back and it worked somehow. Now having the same problem, gonna do it again :(
My second hard drive is not showing in my computers. And in disk management it is showing as missing. What should I do? I thought it was due to sata cable but no i chnged the sata cable but still its not showing.
Brilliant video, very to the point and easy to understand. However, none of these solutions worked. 1. Rescanning did not find the drive. 2. System restore to two seperate points failed, as it said it couldn't find a certain file and was cancelled so the restore was cancelled. 3. I can not acces Group Policy Manager. gpedit.msc didn't bring up anything 4. All drivers are up to date 5. Couldn't change the drive letter as it couldn't find the drive. I'll for sure drop a like on this video though because even though it didn't work for me it's very well presented!
Hey there! I think I found a solution! I had the same issues, and my system restores even ended up bluescreening.These got me thinking that it's a problem with the physical aspect of your devices. Yes, despite the fact that POST didn't signal any errors, I highly reccomend you take a look at how your SATA/SSD drives are fixed in. In my case, I've messed around with the cables. Usually your drive is fixed by 2 distinct ones. I think one of them thick, with 3 cables at the end, colored red,yellor and black. Thats your SATA power cable, which should be fine if your PC booted up in the first place. The issue in my case was with the second cable. Its red, flat and similar to the cables you can see in old school phones, with spring like rotation. It seemed to sit a little awkward, so I took it out (BEWARE: MAKE SURE YOUR PC ISNT PLUGGED IN) , blew off a little dust, and insterted it back in, this time fitted tighter. I also changed the motherboard port in which I put the 2nd end of the cable. Your motherboard most likely has 1-4 SATA ports which all look similar and serve the same function. In case one was damaged, I decided to put the second half in a different port from the original. Lo and behold, upon booting up, the drive was there once again!
@@iateyourcerealwhileyouread2620 Brother, I answered the original poster with a possible fix. Refer to it cuz I cant be bothered to type it again from my phone, its long.

@Wondershare Recoverit Data Recovery :Here is the solution What to do when the secondary drive showed up and then disappeared?. The third method works. But the next day my secondary drive not showing again. I went to disk management___Action-----Rescan disks for 3 times. Restarted PC for 3 times. The secondary Drive appeared .Then I highlighted and Format it for 2 times .Now the secondary drive is showing up to this time. I did not change the secondary drive path name. I kept as "D". I think the DVD drive and secondary drive conflicting the name "D" or Win10 wanted to save in CLOUD. Cheers.
I have a question. To those who were successful with step 1 does the rescan process tell you by any means that it is done scanning or not? Like some sort of announcement or declare so I know the rescan didn't work.
None of that worked for me. I took the cover off of my Lenovo laptop and replaced the hard drive with a new one. It recognized that hard drive. I then swapped the original back in and that worked , but the drive was renamed from D: to F:
No good for me. I am on windows 10, but I do not see some of the menus that you see. Where I do, some of the options are greyed out or do not work. No reflection on you of course, I am sure you know your stuff.
Rescan did not work for me. So i went to Disk Management, found the affected drive at the bottom >> Right click on it >> Change Drive Letter >> Add >> Selected "D:" drive again. It worked like a charm.
My problem is it doesn't show because Windows says it's not initialized. I don't want to lose the files, but I fear the disk is faulty, or at least it's been corrupted somehow. Happened with a couple of them already. Trying to get something out of it still. But strangely there's little information about this on the Internet... Thanks.
System Restore works only about 10% of the time since it came out. Cleaned my computer, and my physical hard drive disappeared. Been using that drive for back-ups for years, now it's gone. Can't even remember what brand it was. There are no loose SATA cables or disconnected power cables, it just disappeared. My Bios shows all SATA ports as working.

works the first solution for me .. thank you.. you earned my subscription ❤
Thank you so much sir, can't believe just changing a letter saved all my games
Thanks Michael couldn't find my drive but eliminated all the options, I think the drive has failed.....that's life.
If someone still can't fix the issue, just make sure that the cable connecting the drive is still and secured. This was the case for me. Replugging the cable soved my problems
Wich is that cable
Where is the cable bro helppp
apparently my hard drive was vibrating and making strange noises. is it broken?
Hi there, thank you for your question. If your hard drive is vibrating and making strange noises, it is likely a sign of hardware issues, and there is a possibility that the drive is failing or has already failed.

I personally think Aomei backupper is better than this one because this one did not work actually.
Thank you soo much.. the renaming disk letter solution worked like magiv
Thank you soo much.. because of your help I could able to locate missing drives and submit my work timely.🤗
Tried all of the options and none worked. I don't have any unallocated drives, I just have one drive (hard drive) and my local drives D and E disappeared. What do I do?
Let me share my problem encountered and how I fixed it.
1. Drive D is not showing up. So I followed the first step.
2. I see the "hidden" partition but the file system is RAW.
3. I right-click to the RAW partition and clicked "format" and make it NTFS.
4. After the formatting is done, I right-click again the partition and clicked on "change driver and paths..."
5. I assigned D and now the system can now read the "hidden" drive partition.
Just sharing. Might as well work on someone else' situation.
I was about to do this, but won't you have to format it (ie delete the files)?
THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO THE FIRST ONE WADS SO EASY AND IT WORKED BRO I LOVE YOU, YOU EARNED A LIKE!
Saved the only working trick for last! it worked for me so thanks
Thank you. I did restore the system and it’s back.
Thank you I spent an hour trying to figure this out and taking apart myy thinking this was a connection problem it was disk 0.

I have a question. To those who were successful with step 1 does the rescan process tell you by any means that it is done scanning or not? Like some sort of announcement or declare so I know the rescan didn't work.
For me the rescan button was grayed out
restoring worked, Alhamdulillah!!
thank you restoring to a back up saved me
My D drive disappeared suddenly from my laptop it's not even in the desk management!
Any idea what's the problem?
Did it solve brother!?
Thank you so much method 1 solved the problem
Thanks a lot to make video like this and it solved my problem!
None of that worked for me. I took the cover off of my Lenovo laptop and replaced the hard drive with a new one. It recognized that hard drive. I then swapped the original back in and that worked , but the drive was renamed from D: to F:
I also have a lenovo and having the same issues
I recently update my windows then my d disk missing

@@emersongarcia2512 what to do? any solutions? pls help
Same
Thank you saved me #2 method worked for me.
No good for me. I am on windows 10, but I do not see some of the menus that you see. Where I do, some of the options are greyed out or do not work. No reflection on you of course, I am sure you know your stuff.
Rescan did not work for me. So i went to Disk Management, found the affected drive at the bottom >> Right click on it >> Change Drive Letter >> Add >> Selected "D:" drive again. It worked like a charm.
Thanks Man .. Method 5 Works For Me
can you make video of my problem.i download 100 gb file in my hdd and now my hdd gone
Hi mate
I had found my drive at the 1st step . . Tqsm
thank you so much, the last step realy did the job done, this was realy helpful
Thanks, the restore system approach helped me.
My problem is it doesn't show because Windows says it's not initialized. I don't want to lose the files, but I fear the disk is faulty, or at least it's been corrupted somehow. Happened with a couple of them already. Trying to get something out of it still. But strangely there's little information about this on the Internet... Thanks.
System Restore works only about 10% of the time since it came out. Cleaned my computer, and my physical hard drive disappeared. Been using that drive for back-ups for years, now it's gone. Can't even remember what brand it was. There are no loose SATA cables or disconnected power cables, it just disappeared. My Bios shows all SATA ports as working.
