Oldest question of all on any disc operating system or windows. HDD missing , is this the boot drive, 2nd driver or external USB or eSATA drive??? I can not guess this, but.... use DISK manager first, never just explorer.
click control panel in the start menu.
click admin tools nex.t
computer management click.
disk managment, BINGO all disk drives you have there.
if you dont see your drive there it is dead. if you do see it , make sure it has a driver, letter assigned. right click any drive to change drive letter, for sure not the boot drive.
