I started my PC yesterday, and it showed a "Fixing D drive" message, attempting to scan through my files with an estimated time of about 15 hours. I let it go for a while, but I noticed it was progressing super slowly. Unfortunately, I had to turn it off due to other commitments. When I started the PC today, the fixing message was gone, but the Windows logo took longer than usual to load. Once I got into the system, everything was incredibly slow; every action caused lag, making it impossible to open anything or even shut it down. I checked the drives in File Explorer, and while the drive was still listed, I couldn't access it or run CHKDSK. It just showed the name of the drive without any storage info, and the applications that were on it had lost their icons. After I removed the drive, my PC booted up fine without lag. So, is the hard drive dead or can it still be saved?

Sounds like your hard drive might be toast. If it's not showing any free space and you can't access the files, it doesn’t look good. But don't give up hope just yet! Sometimes, drives can be recovered if you act quickly.
You might want to check the drive's health using CrystalDiskInfo. It can give you a better indication of what's going on. If it shows bad sectors or other issues, that's a sign it could be failing for good. Best to check before making any decisions!
