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

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

for me it just seems like my drive was just erased or something

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.

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.

Thanks for the video. None of the solution worked but luckily drives came back after i restarted few times!

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❤️

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.

Method 2 worked. The update made my drive disappear. One day Windows will get their stuff together.

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
