Hey there! So I bought a gaming computer (second hand, but it's a beast) a few weeks ago and everything was running 100% perfectly. Only just in the past few days has the second hard drive been playing up, but the problem is that the hard drive rarely shows up in 'Disk Management' (or in the 'My Computer' window) and when it does, if I try opening it, the window closes and the drive disappears. I checked the cords plugged into the hard drive itself and just took them out and plugged them back in, to ensure it wasn't loose or anything.
The primary hard drive is a 120GB SSD, the secondary just a 1TB HDD. I can get the HDD to show up sometimes if I just keep restarting the computer (it's like gambling) till it comes up, and sometimes the 'Rescan Disks' options in 'Disk Management' will show it (maybe 1 out of 5 scans).
I really need access to this drive, as I was setting this up for my little brother as a Christmas gift do urgent help is needed! Thank you!
