Windows 10: Drive not appearing

Hi,


I am not able to see my already created and used drive, suddenly it got disappeared.

I had almost 150GM of data there which is not at all visible.


I tried to fix it updating the drivers and doing some hit and try in disk management settings but couldn't make it through.


However, I noticed a strange thing that my PC storage is 500GB but now in file explorer I see only 250GB. Also I see negative values in disk partition, seems it is in bad state.



Please help in fixing and recovering my disk.


Thanks

:)

Optical Drive Issue

Hello Anak –

Appreciate your detailed return. Your added steps really helped.

Assuming I did the steps correctly, this is where I am now.

Screenshot 12 shows my CD Disc shortcut on my desktop.
Screenshot 10 shows the CD Drive shortcut listed in the “Send to” listing.
Screenshot 11 shows the “Send to” listing after the steps were taken, but the CD drive name is not listed.

So, it appears the steps did not work for me. And, I did try the steps, “If it still won’t do ……” and still no luck.

What do you think?
