• Are you trying to access external hard drives or just partitioned drives on your PC?
• Were there any changes on your PC before this happened like software or updates installed?

Just to make sure, kindly verify if your hard drive is reflected in your Device Manager. Kindly follow the steps listed below to check it:

• Press the Start button.
• Type Device Manager.
• Under Disk drives, kindly check if there's an error on the hard drive listed.
