Hi there Arthur Hera-Singh,

Could you provide a screenshot of Disk Management? Just upload the screenshot to an image hosting website and post the link.
What happens when you try to assign a new drive letter?

Have you tried to run some data recovery software on the drive. You can check this out: https://www.lifewire.com/free-data-recovery-software-tools-2622893

If this works, once your data is safe, you can reformat the drive and test it afterwards: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility

Cheers,

could it be the drive is dead?
 
Could you please provide some more information?

In Disk Management, I see C:, D:, E:, F:, which all appear under My Computer. Which is the drive that appears under Disk Management but not My Computer?
The other thing that I see are some unallocated parts of different drives in Disk Management.

So:
Which one should be the drive in question?
What should be it's capacity?

If the drive is not recognized by Disk Management, then you've got to double check the connection.

Cheers,
