    Hard Drive Keeps Disappearing after Windows 11 Update


    Hard drive keeps disappearing. On re-boot it re-appears. Then it's ok for a bit and disappears again. C drive is ok. It's the D drive that keeps disappearing. It's an internal drive. I just did the Windows 11 update on 2/8/2023. That's when the issue started. Don't have the option in settings to roll back to previous version.

    :)

    Hard Drive Keeps Disappearing after Windows 11 Update

    SECONDARY HARD DRIVE KEEPS DISAPPEARING

    I recently upgraded my ASUS ROG GL552vw with a 256 samsung ssd. I cloned my OS from the Hard drive pre-installed into the new SSD. but when I boot from the SSD, after a while the HARD DRIVE with drive letter D: disappears and is not available in disk management..
    it only shows up after several restarts or hard boot. when I boot from the Hard disk Drive ,I have no problems but I want to use the SSD as my bootup and program installation drive because of it's speed but my secondary hard drive which I inten using for document
    storage keeps disappearing.

    I have checked bios for settings concerning the drives.. but found nothing...what do I do please...
