Windows 10: D drive gone

Hello,When i got my laptop it had a C drive and a D drive, and both were working fine up until yesterday. I got an error message and my D drive disappeared, it has a question mark over it and won't let me access it. Nothing seems to be working to fix it, I'm not sure what to do or what happened.My laptop also won't let me update. It says I'm missing important updates, but whenever I try to check for updates it gets stuck in a loop.

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.

 

D: Drive Gone After Power Cut


I just snipped part of a tutorial made by Brink on SevenForums. (Thanks @Brink *Wink)

If you are still having no joy then it would be good to know if Diskpart can detect your drive d:
It should also be run from an elevated command prompt (same as you did for sfc)

Please let us know what drives it lists for your system (a screenshot would be great). After you have that list, type 'exit' in the command prompt and click 'Enter' to close the screen
