I assume you are looking to "see" the volume in the Windows Computer Management, Disk Management console. Check again after rebooting the Instance. You can do this from the AWS Management Console by selecting the instance and from the "Instance Actions" button menu, "Reboot".

Also, check the Device Manager in the instance and make sure that the "SCSI and Raid Controllers" and "Disk Drives" don't have a red "!" next to them, indicating they need to be enabled or re-installed.

In anycase, "to recover data from volume", attach the volume to another instance and recover the data on it from there. If you can't attach that volume successfully to any instance, make a Snapshot of the EBS volume, and create another volume from the snapshot, and attach that volume to an instance, and recover from there.
