I'm a little confused by your first and third posts above. In your first post you show an Initalize and Disk Management Photos. Now in your next post you show just the disk management photo. When I compare the (DskMgn) photos there is a difference. The first post shows Disk-0 to be unallocated and you second post shows it to have two Primary Health Partitions F: & G: on it. (Did you make any changes between the two DskMgn. photos?)
The first DM is when I rebooted and it showed with Disk 0 being Unallocated. I then formatted the drive and showed with the second DM how it looked before it became unallocated.

One more thing, are there jumper settings on that troublesome drive? If so, do you remember if you changed any of them from the default?
The only thing that happens to make it show unallocated is for me to shut down and reboot. Most of the time a second shut down and reboot brings it back to show all of my files as it should.
