How to test a drive for problems using Data Lifeguard Diagnostics for Windows

Its one of these! Same thing happen to my mates 

Hi,

See if the drive is showing under disk management.

How to access Disk Management in Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8 to manage hard drives

I’m having the same issue. It doesn’t show up under disk management, but USBDeview sees it and says it’s connected, but with no drive #. I’ve had serious issues lately with drivers just disappearing–touch screen and ethernet–that I wonder if that might fix it, however I can’t find any drivers online. Any help would be appreciated.
