  1. Laptop, internal D: Drive disappears and reappears. Windows 10 version 1803. Asus F555UB-DM102T


    Dear windows and community

    For the last 3-4 weeks my D: Drive has been disappearing on/off, and I have no clue why or how to solve it. I have a 128 gb SSD as C: Drive booting windows and most apps, and a 1 TB HDD as D: Drive for storage. Asus F555UB-DM102T. When it disapears I can't see it in disk manager nor from BIOS. When it reapears all data are intact, I can write to and from it, all drivers (including BIOS) seems up to date and Harddrive Troubleshooting gives no errors. I have turned off "automatic turndown harddrive" in power consumption settings. At one point reverting the last windows updates (KB4100403 and KB4345421) solved the issue, but otherwise I haven't found any way to revert it. The bootup times are also notably longer, when the drive is not present from bootup. At other times i suddenly goes missing after usage. Booting in safe mode does not solve the issue.

    There does not appear to be any loose connections in the laptop.

    The drive is: st1000lm024 hn-m101mbb

    My windows is in Danish so i apologize if haven't used the correct terms Laptop, internal D: Drive disappears and reappears. Windows 10 version 1803. Asus F555UB-DM102T :) Can i provide any further information? I'm not that good with computers, so don't hold back with "simple" suggestions - I'm not sure I have tried all initial steps.


    I'm kinda lost for further things to try besides a clean installation. Since the drive disappears and reappears randomly it seems to be a software issue, but I can't find any settings which could be in charge.

    I hope someone can help.

    Best regards, Rasmus

    Thanks for the suggestions Andre!

    Resetting BIOS settings did not change anything.

    As i have a laptop, I'm unsure if your second advice is a possibility? Can it be used for a laptop?

    Best regards,

    Rasmus

    Laptop, internal D: Drive disappears and reappears. Windows 10 version 1803. Asus F555UB-DM102T

    Try resetting your BIOS defaults and see if it remains permanently:

    https://www.groovypost.com/howto/reset-pc-bios-...

    If that does not work and you have a desktop computer...

    Power down

    Unplug it

    Open the system unit

    Remove the CMOS CR-2032 chip

    Plug it in, start the machine, wait 10 seconds

    Power down, unplug it, reinstall the CMOS CR-2032 chip

    Plug it in again, power up

    Check your hard disk for any errors:

    Click Start

    Type: CMD, from the results, right click Command prompt

    Click 'Run as Administrator'

    At the Command Prompt, type: chkdsk /F /R /X D:

    Hit Enter

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and attempts will be made to correct them.
