@Dodo, There could be a few reasons why the drive partition is not recognized. The drive itself could have failed, the partition on the drive may be damaged, the data cable may no longer be good, or the drive may no longer be getting enough power to fully spin up.

In order to understand the health of the drive, we would request you to install and WD Drive Utilities and run the test:

Yes there is a possible way to recover your data from corrupted or lost partition drive. You can try the below 4 different solutions to resolve your issue:

Solution 1: Run SFC Scan

Sometimes, corrupted or missing system files can cause hard drive partition or volume to disappear. The System File Checker (SFC) tool can be used to scan and repair missing or corrupted system files. You can run SFC scan on your system by following these steps:

  • Press ‘ Windows+Q ’ to open search bar and type cmd .

  • Press ‘ CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER ’ to run cmd as Administrator or right-click on cmd and select “ Run as Administrator ”.

  • Next, type sfc /scannow to run the SFC scan.

If SFC scan finds any problem with system files, it can ask for Windows installation DVD or media to repair corrupt and damaged system files.

Solution 2: Run ‘Chkdsk’ command

Chkdsk is an inbuilt disk error checking and repair utility in Windows. Chkdsk scans the hard drive partition for internal errors and fixes them simultaneously.

  • Hit Enter and wait until ‘Chkdsk’ utility repairs the disk errors.

Solution 3: Restore the Missing Hard drive Space using Disk Management
