Earlier today about 5 minutes after starting my laptop I went to launch Steam and my computer beeped two times, I didn't think anything of it other then being odd! Steam decided to not open, I pressed it again and opened it only to show 75% of my games were no longer shown as installed and noticed half my links on desktop were blank. I opened "File Explorer" to see if I could access the drive and it showed as non existent.
To clarify i'm running Windows 10 64-bit, I have a SSD boot drive and another 500GB SSD in my CD Bay. The drive that failed was a "HGST 1TB 7200RPM Laptop HDD", never heard of HGST to be honest. The drive that failed was also in two partitions, stock, so I had boot drive (C: ), the Failed HDD (D: ) & (E: ), and my own added SSD (F: ).
When I restarted my laptop it beeped once, and still does when starting. I checked BIOS, CHKDSK, File Explorer, and Disk Manager to see if it would show but "no dice". The data on the HDD was mainly games and not too important. I had no signs of slowdowns, errors, or cause for a disk failure. It simply stopped working. Any ideas on what to try doing? I've put a request through to ASUS Support but if I can fix it I would love to give it a try!
