Hello,
So, I have my OS_Install (Cworking well. But, the hard disk drive is missing. I haven't changed any hardware or software (aside from deleting bloat and things I don't use).
Disk Management and Device Manager.

I haven't been able to find anything online, but I'm not very proficient with this type of thing.
Thanks
Alex

Open the back cover and see if the HDD is in there or not.

The computer was purchased brand new; the secondary hard drive used to work.
I am not sure at exactly what point it disappeared; perhaps an update? i'm really not sure exactly when it disappeared; but it's 100% physically in there. -

In SOME cases, you may not be able to read the drive when you hook it up to the desktop, when using the SATA to USB adapter (not directly through the SATA port) though the drive shows up, you may get an error in computer drive management, something related to "Basic disk" or "Volume creation error." I don't remember the exact error, but there is a tool to fix this, regarding using HxD and changing one byte on the HDD's boot record, which then removes the error. I'm not even sure if its HXD or another tool you need.Last edited: Nov 22, 2017 -
