Have you tried typing diskmgmt in the search bar to see if its there?

Try using a Ubuntu Live System to access the data. You need to flash it to a USB drive and boot it from there.

If it’s an corrupt NTFS partition there are tools to fix them: partitioning - Fix corrupt NTFS partition without Windows - Ask Ubuntu

You can try to use diskpart.

Open “CMD” and type “diskpart”
Then enter “list volume”, look for an NTFS Volume with your 20TB.
If it’s there, enter “select volume X” X is for the number of the volume.
then type “assign letter=XY”.

Else, you can try to unplug the disk and plug it back in.

It’s the only way I can think of right now. I had similar Problems but couldnt solve it. My HDD was dead.

A cautionary tale and reminder to back up your stuff! Yeah it’s a pain but the alternative is worse.

Check Disk Management (Create and format hard disk partitions) in windows and see what’s going on there. If it doesn’t show there, I echo the other poster try cmd, then diskpart

Sadly it’s NOT showing up in diskmgmt. The HDD only shows up in BIOS.

I cant type ANYTHING in diskpart after typing “diskpart”.

I only get the Standart Windows Diskpart Message

Microsoft DiskPart-Version 10.0.19041.964

Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.
Auf Computer: DEADSILENCE

I cant type NOTHING after that.

[Leelerer]

Try to run diskpart with administrator privileges.
For me it’s asking to allow it when i typed diskpart, after i confirmed it.

[Wolf7]

@Leelerer I already tried that multiple times with no luck

Have you tried plugging it into a different computer?

[Wolf7]

@Bounce I sadly have no other computer . It’s a dilemma…

[Bounce]

Perhaps you can try using a different usb/sata port/cable?

[blackx69]

Strongly suggest trying the Ubuntu route @Wolf7 . Had this happen to me once and was able to pull off files going that route. I had to format still but was able to get main stuff I cared about off.

Also check off Backblaze for your backup needs they have a very reasonable plan for unlimited backup. Just stated to back up my stuff the other day.

Thank you everyone for the answers!

I tried everything till now. I will throw it away fuck.
