    My D drive disappeared after using an application that was stored in the D drive.


    So i was playing a game, then suddenly the game crashed, and my d drive is missing. i've went to the disk management and rescan the disks but it still didnt work. but sometimes when i turn off my computer and turning it back on not restart, it reappeared. and when i try to play a game thats stored inside the drive, the drive disappeared again after 30 minutes of playing. i have been searching for the answers in the internet but nothing works. can somebody help me? thanks.

    :)

    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.

    D: drive disappeared

    Welcome to Ten Forums vm303

    Your Disk 1 reappeared later without you doing anything, so it looks like a loose cable was the most likely cause.

    The windows update was almost certainly just a coincidence. When you looked in Disk Management you probably didn't see your Disk 1, so you incorrectly assumed that the partition with no drive letter was the missing 'D:'. In actual fact it was most likely to have been your hidden Recovery partition. The size of 809MB and only getting 'Help' with a right-click would be consistent with that.

    That confirms that you are looking at a Recovery partition.

    Now that D: has reappeared (with a different letter now) we know that it was in fact a completely separate disk, not a partition on your Disk 0 as you thought. Now you have your Disk 1 back again, I suggest you check all the cables and connections for that drive. We don't want it to disappear again.

    That also means that your steps 4-6 were unnecessary and need to be undone. The correct ID for a Recovery partition on an MBR disk such as yours is 27. Here are screenshots of a similar MBR system disk to show how it should look after you have set everything back the way it was.
