I don't remember the specification of my late windows 11 but my HDD disk was working perfectly fine despite not having been defrag for a couple of months.
Recently I reformatted my PC with a new windows 11 and the first thing I noticed was that there was a missing disk in my explorer. Checking out my disk manager was this:
I've been trying to find a solution in forums and Troubleshooting Disk Management for weeks now but to no avail. I also tried to reinstall the disk driver from the device manager, reactivated the disks and installing Seagate tools running diagnostics. I
s there perhaps something wrong with the BIOS that I'd need to flash the BIOS as well? or is the disk corrupted? it'd be best if I wouldn't need to format the disk as I have 1TB of data within them that I'd like to keep. Does anyone know how to resolve the issue? Thanks in advance.
Oh, also not sure if it's worth mentioning but before reformatting windows there was a problem with powering down my PC whether it be sleep, shut down or restart. The PC just went into BIOS plenty of times when sleeping and a couple of times when restarting and shutdown.

I have already ask this question over Microsoft forums but doesn't get any decent solutions. I'm refraining from flashing my BIOS as it's not recommended? after researching through. Having no disk label, I run HD Tune on the disk and get no errors as well as chkdsk
using mountvol
didn't seem to fix anything. Last resort, I'm also considering claiming warranty for the disks issue.
In addition, before writing this question, I also recently clean reformatted windows for the 3rd time and notice previous I had a burst mouse click issue although that was also a clean formatted windows but that went away with this one, I'm starting to think that my BIOS has an issue.
