Windows 10 Slave Drive not Showing
My computer is fitted with a slave drive and i have a lot of files on it. I just noticed that my slave drive has disappeared and i cannot access it anymore. I went to Disk Management and this is what i see:
From this it looks like Windows wants me to initialize the disk. If i do initialize, does it matter which option i pick? Will initializing my disk reformat the disk and lose all my files?
If i cancel the Initialize Disk window and follow the recommendation on this thread: Suggestion from another website, will it reformat my disk and lose all my files?

Don't do anything, I would suggest a professional recovery if there is critical data on it, disconnect it from the pc now.
