Hey, i have one SSD and one HDD in my PC, the HDD started missing, but it's weird because, if you look at the screenshot, you can see that i can see it in the bottom "diagram"(that disc 2 is a flash drive), but it is not in the top list, even when i open diskpart in cmd, i can see drive 0(SSD) and drive 2(flash), but i can't see drive 1, but if i write command select disk 1, it selects it like it was there, in my file explorer i can't see it too. I wanted to change it to basic drive but when i do it it says that the disk can't be offline, even that it says that it is online.

Can someone help me?

let's get your PC specs...

download Speccy from here; https://www.piriform.com/speccy/builds
in Speccy, click File > Publish Snapshot > Copy to Clipboard > Close.
paste that link into a post.
One area Speccy doesn’t show is the Power Supply Unit, so also include the make/model of the PSU.

how old is the HDD?
 
couple of things first up.

that Fortron PSU is rated pretty poorly.
I'd be replacing that when you can, either with a SeaSonic, EVGA or Corsair unit, but anything with a 10 year warranty and at least 80+ Gold level will be a much better choice.

next, your SSD is down to 8% free space, so that needs immediate attention to reclaim some space.
get CCleaner, version 5.40 from FileHippo or Glary Disk Cleaner to help with this.

how old is the Western Digital drive?
is there anything on it you want to keep?
can you put it into another PC, or external USB enclosure, and format it from there?
 
The WD drive was bought on last years ocotber. I have everything important backed up, maybe i could try to format it in another PC at my home.
