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.
This commenttt is 100000%% legit, thanks man. I panicked really hard and one shut down was all it takes
Yeah this is what fixed it for me even on a laptop, thanks.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, THIS WORKED ❤❤
This worked for me as well! Thanks!
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!!!!!
where cna i find this
Read this comment and simply decided to restart my laptop. Worked like a charm :)
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
Glad it helped! Please don't forget to subscribe to our channel.
for me it just seems like my drive was just erased or something
Yea same did you ever find out and fix it
@@marvello8684 most likely your drive is dead
@@gamerarts8455 how do I check or fix
@@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
@@marvello8684 i did, i dont exactly remember how because it was a year ago
This really helped. I got my drive back after doing a rescan. Thank you for posting
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.
Same
same i dont got the rename option
same
did you ever figure it out? having the same problem
wonder if the ones above ^ ever found their drive
Thanks :)
I appreciate how straight forward it is. You also cover various different solutions which I absolutely love. Keep up the great 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.
You are really great! I got my D drive back after restoring the device. I was scared a lot because it has 1000GB of data storage. So thanks a lot❤️
Glad to be helpful.:)
You just earned yourself a subscriber. The last one was the one that worked for me, thank you so much for making this video, it helped me a lot.
Thanks man. Your video was really helpful.
Thanks for the video. None of the solution worked but luckily drives came back after i restarted few times!
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.
I don't even know how much I should be thankful to you
Thank you that was so helpful! you're a savior
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
thank you this worked!
Thanks, the restore system approach helped me.
I was downloading a bunch of games on steam and the next day I come back to check on my pc and the drive is gone
i’ve been experiencing missing d drive several times on my laptop and the unhiding d drive method has always worked for me. thank you so much!
you are awesome in this whole youtube there was no video which fixed this problem only you had done it.
Thanks a lot
Happy to help.
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
The "rescan disk " worked out for me, tysm!!
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.
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
This video is a savior and of course got to learn few tricks. I found my missing drive after doing a rescan. Thank you for sharing this! :-)
Most welcome. Please hit the subscribe button.
Hello, what if the rescan disks isn't clickable for me? Also the system restore in the advance system settings isn't clickable too

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
this one will not work for me, any other method?
worked with Aomei backup tool here.
what if it's not detected but when I reboot it is? could it be mother board issue? hard drive issue?
one fan header is dead on the ASUS Z97-P, Socket-1150 motherboard. the PC was new in 2015. The D drive on my PC is a Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5", OS drive is a SSD Corsair SSD Force Series GS 240GB 2.5"
My WinRE is missing have no clue to repair my computer, have nor recovery disk either, what to do?
Thank you so much for this bro, you're such a savior. Subbed!
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?
Followed every step and still nothing. I’m really disappointed since I’m suddenly missing a 2TB SSD NVME.🤦🏻♂️
Thanks Michael couldn't find my drive but eliminated all the options, I think the drive has failed.....that's life.
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 drive appeared when I rescaned disc, but then disappeared again. rescaned again, appeared again then disappeared again.
Thank you so much , your last solution solved a problem I was happening
method 5 worked for me, thanks a lot !!!

Hi, I don't lost one of my drives, but suddenly when I start up my computer, it says Missing System File. So I have to use my Windows 10 Installer to start up the computer. Next time is the same. It just suddenly came yesterday. How to fix that without wipe the machine again or restore?
Thank you so much for this tutorial
Drive missing?
wonderful...i've got to learn only when i see this video...😁
Thanks the last one method works for me. Really appreciate your straight forward instruction.
Shout out to you ! Great steps
Thank you so much. You owe me one ❤️❤️
I am very tense since my D drive is lost and the speaker is so happy in the video xD
lmao same
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 SO MUCH BRO THE FIRST ONE WADS SO EASY AND IT WORKED BRO I LOVE YOU, YOU EARNED A LIKE!
Thanks Michael 😊, it worked 😉
Thank you so much you just saved me🙏🏻
THANK YOU!!
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
My D drive disappeared suddenly from my laptop it's not even in the desk management!
Any idea what's the problem?
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
Thanks a lot to make video like this and it solved my problem!

My D drive can't be found , i had tb space now only got gb space.. please help
Can't also see the D drive. neither in the disk management how do i retrieve it back ( system restore didn't work either)
The last solution helped me. Thank you Michael.
After trying the first solution, my local disk d popped up but when I double click to open it says format.
And a whole instructions and went back to hidden.
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.
Last option worked. Lost "drive letter 'd' ", drive was visible in disk management but not anywhere else like file explorer
you're a life saver istg thank you so much
Thanks this video helped me alot..
My disk manager pops up a tiny windows that says initialize disk with one option and under that an option MBR or GPT idk what that is
Thank you so much. It worked.
Method 3 just solved my problem. Thank you so much sir, highly appreciated.
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.
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.
Thanks a lot for this video! Method 5 solved my problem
Thanks!!!! The 3rd option worked for me
Today i got this problem..and i watched your video and i recovered my disk ..im so happy..tnku for ur videos

I have a problem when I copied an SSD hard drive with a copy of Windows 10 and made it master and installed another hard drive, this HDD did not appear for me, knowing that the first has 240 GB and the second has 450 GB, and if I install the second master, it appears normally, is there any help?
