    My harddrive suddenly went missing...

    Hello…

    So one of my hard drives just went missing in “explorer”.
    I can see it in the “Driver management tool” (see picture), but it is “unallocated”.
    In fact their is over 700 GB of stuff there that i would like to keep…

    Could be your drive has failed? You could try connecting your drive to another sata port, or indeed try the drive in another pc.

      I tried that, i changed that SATA port, same result, moved it to a new computer as a “ext. drive” and then it worked.
      moved it back to this computer and same result, i can see the dive as “unallocated”.

      Rebooted the computer and went in to BIOS to see if there is any other information, no changes there and exit the BIOS without saving, came back to windows and the dive was back as noting had happen… wired!

      anyone want/can tell me what happen?

        Be only guessing there, many possibilities.

        As this issue seems resolved will mark it as solved. If the OP has further issues later, please pm a staff member who can re open it for you.
