Fix hard drive disappeared in File Explorer error
When you open File Explorer, and you cannot view the hard drive partition there, like D drive, E drive, and other data partitions, you can try the next two methods for help.
Method 1. Run hardware and device troubleshooter to fix hard drive disappeared issue
1. Press 'Windows + R' keys.
2. Type 'control' and press enter to open the control panel.
3. Type 'troubleshooting' in the control panel search box and open it.
4. Click 'view all' on the left pane.
5. Run the hardware and devices troubleshooter and follow the on-screen instructions.
Method 2. Perform partition recovery with EaseUS Partition Recovery
Windows update deletes a hard drive partition, or you accidentally perform 'Delete Volume...' in Disk Management, the hard drive will be in 'unallocated space' state. Windows 10 will not recognize a hard drive partition showing up as unallocated. You can create a new partition on the unallocated drive to make it show up again. Creating a new hard drive would help Windows system detects the drive as new, but the hard drive data is gone forever.
There are two ways to protect hard drive data from disappearing: [1] Directly perform a whole partition recovery instead of creating a new one; [2] Recover hard drive data after creating a new drive. Both ways are meant to rescue data on a disappeared hard hard drive storage, but the former method is more preferred. EaseUS Partition Recovery is able to recover the entire hard drive along with data on it.
Go to the product page and download EaseUS Partition Recovery, and follow the guide to show up a disappeared hard drive as well as data in Windows 10.
Step 1: Run EaseUS Partition Recovery on your PC.
Select the disk or device where you lost partition(s), click 'Scan' to continue.
Step 2: Wait for the scanning process to complete.
Let the program scan selected disk and find the lost partition(s).
Step 3: Preview and restore lost partition(s).
Double-click on the partition which is marked as 'Lost' with 'Good' recoverability.
Preview the content of the lost partition. Click 'OK' and click 'Proceed' to start restoring the lost partition.
Step 4: Click 'Recover Now' to finish the partition recovery process.
Note: If the program warns you that there is a conflict, back up the listed partition with essential data to an external hard drive first. Then execute the final operation to restore your lost partition.
If you choose to create a new partition on unallocated space and need data recovery afterward, then choose EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to recover hard drive data. Being different from Partition Recovery software, using Data Recovery Wizard won't help recover a disappeared hard drive but only data on it.
