Is my HDD dead or hidden?

So I get on my PC after my 5yo son gets done playing a game on steam. I try to open my Cemu emulator (located on my drive labeled F: ) and it tells me that the location is missing or whatever.
My C drive is an M.2 drive and the other two are regular sata disk drives. It doesnt appear on My Computer and even Diskpart, but oddly enough it still appears in CrystalDisk but with no drive letter assigned which led me to trying to see it in Diskpart and Disk Management but I have had no luck.
I have also tried swapping spots with my other drives and that didnt even work. Someone please save my emulation archive T.T

Try launching storage spaces and check if it shows in there, there was a question recently where someones drive dissappeared because it had somehow got added to a storage pool and he got it back by removing it. Not sure if the data was intact though.

Oh well, worth a shot.

The most confusing one is disk management. It really should show up in there. I was hoping on your behalf that it had just had the drive letter unassigned somehow and that would be an easy fix.

My last Idea is to try another partitioning tool, Aomei partition assistant for example, and see if that finds it.
