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.

 

Computer cannot see itself and other computers cannot see it

Computer C cannot see itself in File Explorer under Network, nor can the other computers (A, D, and X) see it. However, it can see and access computers A, D, and X.

Computers A, D, and X can see and access themselves and each other, but cannot see computer C.

• All computers are in the same workgroup.
• All have the same subnet mask.
• All have the same default gateway address.

The only differences I can see are:

• Computer C is connected to an access point via ethernet; A, D, and X are connected to the same AP via Wi-Fi. Shouldn't matter.
• Computers C and X are version 1607 build 14393.351; computers A and D are version 1511 build 10586.633; YET all of them say they are up to date. Puzzling and odd, but shouldn't matter.

Computer C is discoverable.

How do I get everyone on speaking terms with computer C?

Thanks for suggestions.

 

Not enough space on Recovery (D drive.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Please help me with the following:

1. What is the make and model number of your Computer?
   

Please note that recovery "D" is a partition on the hard drive which contains the image of the Operating system. You can use it to restore the computer back to factory settings. You should not attempt to store files in it.
If you have any data saved on the D drive, I would suggest you to move it to an external drive and to free up some space, you can follow the steps provided in the article:
Free up drive space in Windows 10.



If you are using a HP computer, then you can refer to this article:
HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - What is the Recovery (D Hard Drive?
