I installed a new, second HDD. I initialized it and began formatting
it on Disk Management. When I just came back after being away from the
computer for a few minutes, I noticed that the whole HDD, not to
mention its formatting process, had completely disappeared from Disk
Management! The HDD is still physically connected, it wasn't taken
away by a fairy.

What caused this and how to prevent it from happening?
