    I had to replace my Power supply ASUS Motherboard M5A97 R2.0
    I Have had 4 Different hard drives Disappear

    ALL HARD DRIVE ARE NOT POWERED UP AT THE SAME TIME Only 1 windows 10 drive at a time Two Other drive are clones of the main Windows for emergency use in case of a crash as Backup
    Drive #1 Would not boot up windows 10 I formatted it and tried to reimage it, During the re-imaging on while booting up FROM Startup Disk It was spinning Like 10 minutes I rebooted same thing spinning only
    So I hooked it to another windows 10 machine and The Hard Drive Assigned Drive Letter was gone, and nothing showed a even a hint of a hard drive
    I tried to reinstall windows 10 from my windows 10 OEM Pro DVD and half way thru it stopped and the drive letter disappeared and was gone forever I lost four 1 TB hard drive so far

    I tried Disk management and Aomei Hard Drive Partition the hard drives are not listed at all in any way not even a hint of it
    Nothing in device manager, BIOS does not list it
    It like windows Repair Disk burns up the hard Drives , There were there as Drive Letter E till I started the reimage or reinstall of windows 10 Then gone without a trace
    Anyone with all The Same Would not boot so I formatted each one Formatted Drive E assigned put it in the other computer and Gone without a trace, Wife is Scared I going to break her computer trying to fix mine
    Advice welcomed

    This is solved The Cause was That new Power Supply was defected and Blew out all 5 Hard Drives To much power. I took it back to the store got a refund went and got 4 new 1 TB drive Back up and going now, I just happy it did not Take out my Motherboard.
