    Lost my SSD


    Hi all, got a problem with my SSD drive.
    Today I got a popup telling me that I need to restart my
    computer because of an upgrade. Since today is Friday, I suspected that it
    would be the upgrade to ver.1809 and not a normal Tuesday update. Turns out I was
    correct.
    So before I let windows upgrade, I wanted to make an image
    of drive 0 with Macrium. At this time my second drive, divided into 3
    partitions, was working fine. I set up Macrium to place the image on my drive 1
    and after about 2 minutes it beeps at me and tells me it cannot write to it. No
    big deal, I use my external drive and did the backup.
    I then went into Disk management and found out that disk 1
    is listed as unknown and not initialized.
    I right click on it and select initialize disk. A popup tells me to
    select the disk, it is already selected and MBR is selected and I press OK. Another
    popup tells me “the system cannot find the file specified”
    I have a backup off what was on that disk, so I am not
    worried about losing anything, but how do I get my disk back?
    Thanks

    Just restart and see what happens. If the drive is still offline then check the power & data connections to your drives.
