    D Drive Missing After Fragmentation

    Hi,

    As the title suggests, my D drive has gone missing after fragmentation.

    I have tried to rescan disks in disk management, update driver in device manager, uninstalled recent windows updates but still unable to locate my D drive.

    Based on event logs, it’s showing me event ID 51.

    D drive was able to be fragmented on 1st May 2023 and on 2nd May onwards, it just went missing.

    Any idea what else I could do?

    Thank you!

    D Drive Missing After Fragmentation

    Hi dear, My name is Erfan and I'll be more than happy to help you out today!

    I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue.

    I suggest you try the steps that I mentioned below:

    Check your BIOS for drive detection.

    Check the connections between your D drive and computer.

    Check Disk Management for the D drive and assign a drive letter if necessary.

    Run a disk check on the D drive for errors.

    Try using a data recovery tool to retrieve any data from the missing drive.

    I hope this information could help you to fix this issue!

    Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Kind regards,

    Erfan

    Missing D: drive

    At first the D: drive only had ~35 Mb of 495Mb available space for a 3TB disk.

    Did System restore and D: drive went missing. I want to save the data on the drive.

    How can I get the drive back and save its data?
