This may sound a little bit funny but over the last several days one of my USB Hard drives has been disappearing from My Computer. I have checked inside of Computer Managment to see it is their and it says it has to initialize it (aka format).
So I used a program called GetDataBack for NTFS Version 2.31 and when it is in the middle of scanning the drive, the drive letter appears again. Only to find a few hours later it is gone in My Computer and an unallocated drive in Computer Management saying it has to initialize it. I can't figure this out, I have ran a scandisk on the drive and booted into Windows Recovery to perform a scandisk but it doesn't go away. I have had this drive for almost a year without any problems. I am wondering if it could be the drive failing or some other hardware issue? I am attaching my Event Viewer System log.
