If the disk disappears, then enter BIOS to check, different computers have different shortcut key. Reboot your computer and press Del+Ctrl+Alt, F1, ESC or others. If there is no such disk in BIOS, it means your hard disk is physically damaged, you’d better disconnect it. To repair this disk, you’d better sent to a company.
