  1. (Dell g7 15) Why does my D drive randomly appear and disappear


    So I’ve had my laptop for over a year now, all drivers and updates updated (as far as I know) and the d drive constantly disappears until I restart the laptop, and then shortly disappears again.

    Is there any fix to this, because honestly it’s making me just want to buy an actual pc instead and I can’t download any big games because I have to use my c drive.

    If you can help me, thank you so much

    D drive

    Hi,

    Based on the details you have provided us, it appears that there might be some corrupted contents on the said partition. We can also consider that this is caused by a virus.

    For us to check if a certain virus is hiding your files, kindly follow the steps below:

    • Type Command prompt in the search bar.
    • Type-in the following command:

      attrib -h -r -s /s /d D:\*.*
    • Press Enter to execute the command.

    If you think that there is nothing important stored in it, then we suggest that you reformat your D drive so that you can use the free space for important files.

    You can follow the steps below to start with the process:

    • Click on the File Explorer.
    • Select This PC.
    • Right-click on your D drive, then click on Format.
    • Follow the on-screen process to finish formatting the partition.

    Let us know how it goes so that we can further assist you.
