My D Drive suddenly disappeared

Earlier today I got off my pc, it was going good I turned it off like usual, nothing was out of the ordinary

when I came back and turned it on, it took longer than usual to boot up,

when it finally did boot up

I noticed that Wallpaper Engine wasn’t on and when I tried to open it up, Steam told me that the drive it was downloaded in isn’t connected

I checked File Explorer and saw that I only had my C drive and my E drive

I tried all I could to get it back,

-Turning my pc on and off

- Unplugging and plugging the drive back in

- Switching the plugs for my drives

- going to Disk Manager and rescanning for drives

- going to Aomei Partition and checking for drives

- looking for hidden drives

- switching the SATA connection of the drive

I’m not sure why this happened since it was fine a couple of hours ago and when I come back it’s just gone

Every single video I watch about it they rescan and it comes back or they go to drive manager and rename the drive to something else but how can I rename a drive that isn’t even there

BTW the drive is a Seagate Barracuda 500Gb, my 2Tb SB as well as my Kingston SDD’s are fine, but for some reason the 500gb drive just disappeared

Does anyone know what I can do?

Even if I can’t get the data back from it I just want my drive back
