Please somebody?

The bottom line is - please see attached image .. As you can see, the disc labeled DATA have a different symbol? The system can see the disk, but can not come in contact with the disc? .. I have no idea how it will be "activated" again .. I am afraid that I might have clicked on "hide this disk" or something like that? I tried,
if it were possible to hide the disc to others. When I started my computer up again the disk was indeed gone?
It does not help to repair the disk. I can not come to repair disk permissions ..
Maybe there is one of you who have seen this before?

Thanks in advance

Did you try selecting the Volume and clicking "Mount" in DiskUtility?

Sounds like there's something wrong with the disk.

It would help if you posted what Disk Utility says when you try to repair the disk. The error messages usually give us better information to go on.

Could you provide more information on this? What did you use to try and hide the disk - did you use some 3rd party utility?
