    Drive missing from system after restart


    Hi

    Windows 10 Version: 10.0.19042 Build 19042


    Have 3 drives in system, C: windows 10/boot, D for my data (and to which I have moved library folders) and E whcih is a mirrored copy of D. All are encrypted with bitlocker which is set to mount drives D and E from C (boot drive).

    I have other backups of data so no worries about that. Luckily had just manaully synced data to my laptop as well.

    Just did a restart and for some reason was machine went into restart a second time.

    When Windows restarted my D drive is missing (from device manager, disk management and of course explorer.

    The only explanation I can think of is the drive has died. Can't figure out how to get it back if not.

    Can anyone offer any suggestions? Is it goign o be a matter fo checking if the drive is actually spinning somehow?

    :)

    After updates Windows 10 says "Missing operating system"

    I have the same issue, and I followed your suggestion steps. After that, I can see C: drive, and Windows folder is there.

    Then I rebooted the computer. But I still have the missing the operation system issue. Any suggestions?

    Thanks.
