Windows 10: File corruption?

So I have had my computer for about a year now and haven't had any issues with storage being corrupted. I tried to safely eject one of my new 1 tb hard drives that I had been using for about two months and it became corrupted I think. When I go to the file explorer it shows a question mark over the drive which is my D: drive. I then tried to go to manage storage spaces and my drive doesn't show up. However when I go to computer management and try to manage my drive it tries to initialize my D: drive. I click yes to initialize it but it says that the drive I tried to use the action on doesn't exist? And when I tried to go to properties it told me my drive was healthy. I also went to the command prompt and tried chkdsk and I used all the correct commands but it still won't find the drive. I have the drive installed correctly in my pc and all connections are fine. It's an m.2 nvme ssd. At this point I don't care about the data on my drive. So I said all this to ask is there any way I can get windows to recognize my drive and reformat it? If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Corrupted file RAR

If the archive has been created using WinRAR, why don't you try WinRAR itself? It has a built-in repair feature for repairing corrupted archive (ZIP as well as RAR). Follow the steps given below:

• Open WinRAR application in your system.
• Now click on File tab > Open or simply press Ctrl+O.
• A small window "Find Archive" will pop up. Locate the corrupt RAR archive from your system directory and select it.
• Now click Open button.
• Click Tools tab > Repair archive or simply press Alt+R.
• Again a small window "Repairing File name.rar" will pop up.
• Now click Browse to select a location to save the repaired archive.
• Check the box "Treat the corrupt archive as RAR" and click OK.
• WinRAR will start repairing of corrupt RAR archive. Once it gets completed click Close.

I hope the above steps will help you repair the corrupted RAR archive.

Thanks.

Please perform the below steps and see if it helps to resolve the issue.

This issue may happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow
the below given steps:

• Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
• In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.
• Restart the computer.

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

• Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
• In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

• Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.

Hope this information helps. Please post us if you need any further assistance with Windows.

Thank you.
