Windows 10: 1903 upgrade crashed system: "noosinstalled", but it is, drive D:

Gang I think this is an easy problem but I so far have not figured it out after reading through a bunch of threads, using command line repairs to boot record etc. I THINK part of the issue is that when i put my Windows 10 USB drive in, boot, select repair, go to command line, check the volumes, the Windows installation shows up as drive D:, while the supposedly hidden partition System Reserved shows up as C:. Even if I use diskpart to hide the Reserved Volume [remove letter], and assign to the right volume letter C:, I still get missing boot/bcd, so I can't operate on repairing bcd.....

All this happened yesterday while downloading/installing Version 1903 over a running version 1803. No idea when it bailed, as I walked away and got busy with other things. Found it dead later, auto repair fails, etc etc etc.
The message is noosinstalled, which would be true if it is only looking at System Reserved....

help pls

:)

 

Upgraded from windows 8.1 to 10 now D drive missing

Hello,

Upon upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 my D drive is no longer listed under my PC. I tried a search and cannot find it nor can I do a system restore as that requires the D Drive. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cannot access D drive since upgrading to Windows 10.

Hello Judy,



Thank you for replying quickly with the status of the issue.



Please reply to few more questions:

• 
  Is the D: drive located on the same hard disk or on different hard disk?
  
• 
  Did you have any important data saved on the
  D: drive?
  

If the D: is saved on another hard disk and you are unable to access it, I suggest you to format the drive completely and check if the issue is resolved.



To format the hard disk, follow the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and select
  Disk management option.
  
• 
  Right click on the D: drive and select
  Format option.
