Windows 10: HDD is not Detected After a Blue Screen of Death

Hello Community,I was recording via OBS and playing a game when I encountered a BSOD. I don't remember the error code, and there is nothing in the minidump folder, could it be because I did a disk cleanup?Currently, my HDD is not detected anywhere: not in This PC, not in Device Manager, not in Disk Management, not in Safe Mode, and not in BIOS. Additionally, my SSD, where Windows is installed, shows a different amount of available space each time I start the PC.Here’s what I’ve tried so far:Hard reset.Disk cleanup.Updated Windows and BIOS.Uninstalled and reinstalled IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers,

:)

 

HDD is not detected after a Blue Screen of Death

Ok so I have a HDD and a SSD (OS is here) on my laptop, I was playing a game (stored on HDD) and suddenly I got a blue screen of death, my HDD is no longer recognized, what might be the issue? P.S I don't think the HDD was failing as it had good read write. HDD is not detected on disk manager either, one thing I found strange is in device manager, there is no driver for the HDD, it had only the SSD's driver
