      I bought an unbranded Bluetooth 5.0 USB dongle for my Windows 11 PC.
      The drive that came with the device (on a CD), does not install correctly, giving an error message that adequate permissions are not available for installing files in the System32 sub-folder.
      I tried changing the permissions for this System directory, but no success.

      I was playing Fallout New Vegas and suddenly my game froze up so I had to force shut down but after I clicked on the icon of the game, it said I hadn't installed the game so I tried to enter in my d drive (hdd) and it gave me a message that said "can't open due to fatal error" so I restarted my laptop and boom all my drives except c (SSD) were gone.

    I tried the cmd line that you mentioned in the video @ 7min 25 sec, but when the corresponding window opens, I receive an error msg stating "Windows Online Troubleshooting Service is disabled Windows Online Troubleshooting Service is not enabled for this version of Windows".....Which is really strange because I haven't disabled any of the error reporting or troubleshooter either, I'm good on malware, just did a scan, and it came back clean, sfc /scannow doesn't report any corrupted files either. My windows version is Windows 11 22h2 Build 22621.1635.

    I recently had this issue after a windows update on my brand new M.2 which I was using as a boot drive. I'm not sure if M.2 came out of the slot or the windows update broke my bios but we took the drive out looked it over and then reinserted it and it started working again it was bolted in with the M.2 shield originally so it shouldn't have come out of the slot.

I plugged everything in and double checked everything there is a 0% chance of anything being loose or not plugged in properly. My problem isn’t that it won’t show up in files, I won’t show up in device manager, it won’t show up in bios, it’s completely gone. And I’m tearing my hair out trying to figure out why the hell this isn’t working

    A potential hardware issue could be that the interface controller in the drive has failed and it’s a failure that will usually happens suddenly without warning and in that scenario the only way to get your data back is to replace the failed interface controller or to get a data recovery business to recover your data which should be fully recoverable in that scenario. However you will need to know the decryption password to access it if the drive is encrypted.

      Have you tried a program called Mini Tool Partition Wizard ? If you do a full scan with that using the Partition Recovery option, and it finds the lost-deleted partitions.
      assign a drive letter to the drive Quickly! then pull the data off it right away. Sounds like your drives either on its way to hell or been eaten by a virus. Good luck!

    One for you to tackle, Brian?. One of the Flash Drives I use for back-up (good quality) is now 'not recognised'. I have tried all the DISM and CHKDSK variations and actually go it to display briefly, so I know all the files are still there. Tried assigning a fresh Drive letter too, to no avail. (Thinks: "How can I format it, if it's not recognised?!")
    One for a future video, perhaps? Meantime, I have other backups and will format the drive and then re-use it, after checking for any viruses.

    I have an issue with a 1Tb SATA SSD. A Western Digital Blue, I was doing a Low Level Reformat & about 2 minutes later I heard the USB noise on the PC I was doing this with & the Drive can no longer be Detected. If I plug it in I get no USB sound whatsoever. I tried using CMD & Disk Manager to detect it but to no avail. It was used but I have only had 2 used SSDs die on me out of many Dozens I have purchased & both were older Intel SSDs that failed on me in the past. This Western Digital blue Drive didnt even handle a reformat & now cant even be seen by a PC, not sure if anything can fix this & it isnt worth sending to a Data Recovery place, there was nothing on the Drive.

I've tried two of them on my windows rig and they're fine now. they show up and work. im going to go through the rest and see what happens but I'm just amazed right now. windows really does suck, all the pc nerds aren't just saying that for no reason.

      If the hard drive is not showing in the BIOS, then I can think of only 3 things it could be: 1. The hard drive is no longer functioning (either faulty or the power cable to the hard drive is not plugged in properly), 2. The connection / cable from the hard drive to the motherboard is faulty or not plugged in properly (check both ends of cable), 3. the settings in the BIOS is turned off for that specific SATA port (SATA0, SATA1, SATA2, etc...).
