UPDATE: Here are two additional images that show an external SATA hard drive in a USB docking station:
-
Do you have any of the WD Passport Security and/or utilities software installed?
Can you provide a screenshot of disk management for the drive in question?
Also, from an elevated command prompt (type):
diskpart (cr)
list disk (cr)
select disk x (cr) where x is the number of your external drive
list partition (cr)
Also, can you attache a screenshot of the above result?

unable to find the runtime version
The (unidentified) software you are using is looking for a different .NET runtime version. If you need more help, you'll have to provide a lot more detail.

Hi,
There is a possibility that some third party programs installed on the computer is causing the issue.
Agreed! Also check your list of installed programs for anything that looks "new" that you didn't intentionally install. If any are found, uninstall them as well.

I'm guessing malware did it!
See if this helps with your regedit issue:

Please do the following to hide the file type extensions:
For Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003- Start Windows Explorer, you can do this by opening up any folder.
- Click Tools, and then click Folder Options.
- Scroll down and then click Folder and search options.
- Click the View tab.
- Scroll down until you notice Hide extensions for known file types, check this line by clicking the check box.
- Click OK

Personally, I have never seen a hard drive partition "just disappear" without any associated activity in that area. Moreover, some partitions are actually "hidden" from view. An example is shown below where a hidden partition is not shown in disk management but is clearly there when the diskpart command is used. So, what were you doing when the partition disappeared? What was on it that needs to be recovered?

Hi Linkin,
Thanks for all those helpful suggestions regarding malware detection, identification and removal. As you stated, they may work or they may not (depending on the severity of the infection). However, the one thing that is the most difficult to deal with is the remnants of the damge left behind "after" the malware is removed. Sometimes, the damage is so severe, it can take many days to uncover and fix all the damage (if that is even possible). With that said, my advice is to create a periodic system image to avoid the need to do a clean install just in case the malware and resulting damage cannot be totally removed/repaired. From my experience, more often than not, the malware removal is the easy part but it may take quite a bit of time to fix all the damage it left behind.
Cheers,

Hello Linkin,
IMHO, setting (increasing) the pagefile size does nothing to improve system performance. Moreover, for those who do not understand how the pagefile interacts with RAM, I would recommend they maintain the setting to "allow Win to manage my pagefile" so it will shrink and grow as required by the OS. Now, if you look at my screenshot, you will see that I have done just the oppsite of your recommendation. Specifically, I decreased the size to a fixed 100mbs. Here's why:
I have adequate RAM (eg 8GBs) to run without a paging file.
The only reason I have it set to 100mbs is to allow crash initialization so I can capture crash dumps (if necessary).
I have a small SSD and I do not want to reserve an addition 10 GBs of hard drive space (as suggested) that will never be used.
In fact, I have never used a large (fixed) paging file in Windows XP, 7, 8 or 8.1 and I have never suffered any ill effects. In fact, I'd really like to set it to zero but I don't like the Event ID that is generated on startup telling me that my crash dump initialization failed.
Thanks,

Hello Linkin,
This delay was introduced (by MS) for a reason that was not discussed in your recommendation. I think the posters would be better served if you elaborated on the following:
Why did MS introduce the delay (was this intended to work harmoniously with fast startup)?
What is the duration of the default delay (is it in seconds or milliseconds)?
What are the risks of disabling this default delay (possible occasional crash on cold boot maybe)?
Moreover, I have seen this suggestion before as part of an SSD Tweak utility; however, your suggestion makes no mention of any hardware prerequisites. Any comment to that end?
In summary, I am not convinced this is a worthwhile venture for all unless you can explain otherwise by answewring the above questions.
Thanks,

Back out the recently applied updates to see if you can get your video working again. Once done, reapply the updates (one at a time) until the problem returns. Once the offending KB is identified, hide it or pursue a fix via Microsoft reporting channels.

OK, it looks good on the surface but I suspect there is more to see if we dig a bit deeper!
Go to Admin Tools> System Information> (System Summary)> Components> Storage> Disks and provide a screenshot of the results for your 3TB USB drive.
Also, it would be interesting to see how your special WD passport controller is identified by CrystalDiskInfo. This is a portable download from here:

Both of my screenshots are attached below.
