Hard drive invisible

#1 Post by Nibeljunge »

A WD blue 500 GB drive "disappeared" from my file system.
It is still visible in the BIOS and the Intel App recognizes the drive, but with unknown features.

TestDisk does not recognize it.

Any idea what I could do ?

Thanks!

Post the testdisk log.
How is the drive connected to the computer?
What is the operating system?

Testdisk only sees my Windows Drive.
The drive in question does not show in Test Disk.
It is connected internally with SATA.
I am running Windows 7.
