Windows 10: D: Drive Suddenly Disappeared

Hey everyone, it seems I run to some sort of a sudden problem. I'd appreciate your help!

So, after some sort of Windows 10 crash, I had to restart my PC. However, I randomly noticed that my D: drive is missing! I have two drives, the C: drive which has all the drivers as well as my important documents and my Windows 10 installation and the D: drive which has other software and games.

So, I tried to check for a Windows 10 update, any driver update that could help, but there was nothing new for an update. I also restarted my PC, but that didn't help either.

I headed to Disk Manager, in the control panel and I scanned for new drives. Windows 10 recognized another drive (Drive 0) which is my D: drive, but it's not initialized. When I tried to initialize it, it popped up an error message, saying "The action could not be performed due to i/o device error.".

I also tried to use the control panel (as admin) and used the "chkdsk D: /f /r /x" line, but it said, "Cannot open volume for direct access.".

I have some important software in that drive, so I'd like not to completely format it since redownloading it would take some time and I need these things for my projects and exams these days at the university. Also, my recovery image is too old and it's only for the C: drive, so it can't help.

PS: My Windows 10 version is 1909.

D Drive Disappeared

I am a college student and need my drive quickly

 

All data from Drive D:/ disappeared or is not recognized

Hello everyone

I am using a ASUS ROG laptop with two drives: a SSD "C:/" called "OS" and a HDD "D:/" called DATA.

After uninstalling 4 or 5 games from my laptop (properly, using the Applications list to uninstall), all my games, music, pictures, etc stored on drive D (DATA) suddenly looked to have disappeared. Steam is still working but all games show as uninstalled, Origin isn't even working at all anymore, all my music, videos etc can't be found and played anymore.

When trying to play a mp3 from "recent files", it says that drive D is not available and the file can't be found.

Drive D is still visible and can be opened but it appears almost empty, which shouldn't be the case. I think all my data is still there but can't be seen. I can still see all my Origin and Steam games in the Apllications list. It's like the data is not available or recognized anymore. The laptop runs fine (fast, no weird noises, no system error).

Any suggestion? Thanks a lot!
