Hi Sahibdad,

Could you check if the drive is visible in Disk Managament with a correct file format and drive letter. If it is possible, try to assing another letter. Does the missing drive contain important data? It is possible that the drive appears in Disk Managament as not initialized. Initializing the drive may make it usable again, but this way you will lose all data stored on it. I suggest you to backup all data before initializing the drive. Try connecting the drive in another PC, as a secondary drive.
If drive is not listed in Disk Management, search for it in Device Manager and in BIOS. If it is still missing, I would recommenc you to change the drive’s SATA port and cable.

Hope this helps
