drive passed chkdsk but no longer showing in server manager console
Can a hard drive still fail despite passing a chksdsk? I have a hard drive in a machine storing backups. The backups starting receiving errors related to a disk failing. I ran a chkdsk which passed according to the event log but I don't see the drive anymore in the server manager console.

Who makes the drive? As said, CHKDSK is not a hardware checking tool.
Do you see it in Computer Management?
probably it lost it's drive letter somehow
you should be able to see the drive in disk management, ansd assign a new letter

not showing in server manager/disk management. ordering a new drive.
does it show in the bios? if not it is surely bad - or the cables/connectors to it
