Welcome to the Community.

If your hard drive is not locked then unfortunately this is a sign of data corruption. I’d recommend contacting a specialized service for analysis.

See if the drive appears on disk management… and we can think about maybe driver curroption

Clean drivers using drivecleanup.zip ( dos program) reboot the computer and see if it solves the issue

Good luck

Hi!

I had the same problem, and I solved it using a free data recovery software named TestDisk ( http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk))
