How do you reinstall your D drive?

[bocadillo]

When you had a D drive what was it? On my dell it is the CD/DVD Drive so the best bet is that computer doesn't recognise that at the moment. Do you still have access to the CD/DVD? Can you put a CD into the drive and can the computer read it? Best to start there.

That's a strange conclusion to draw.

If the OP can't tell us what kind of a drive has been 'lost', perhaps it was never there at all.

Classic Western reductionist theory. :icon_wink If the computer has a C drive and can access the CD/DVD Drive we are one step closer to understanding the problem.

Now I understand the problem, sadly I am not able to provide a solution. :icon_sad: I am unable to to delete my D: drive unless it is a network drive I don't reconnect to.

This still leaves the possibility that it might either be a second hard drive or a separate partition on the same drive. Do you know which of these it was? Have you got a second hard drive? Is this a desktop computer or a laptop (which is unlikely to have a second hard drive)?

What was in the missing drive? Can you remember the names of any files that were stored there? If so, have you searched for any of them?

Is it possible that your g/f renamed the drive rather than deleting it? (You might have gathered that it is quite difficult to delete a drive.) Are there any drives listed in My Computer that you don't recognise?

Do you know how full you C: drive was before the D: drive disappeared? Is it any fuller now than it was then?

I don't.
