After restarting it appeared again but later disappeared again and i kept restarting until it stopped appearing entirley. I tried changing the letter when i could see it but it still didnt work.It takes way longer to start my laptop than it used to before now. Idk what do since im not great with computers. Any help would be appreciated.

Drive D:/ missing !!!

Hi Victoria,

This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I understand your concern about the missing Drive D.

If your drive is not available or not visible on the disk management, it means that there's a problem with the connection of it whether on the power or the data of it.

The first thing that you would need to check is the device manager and see if the hard drive is showing up on it. Then check the BIOS of your computer or laptop (it would depend on the brand of your computer or laptop) then check if your hard drive can be detected
by the BIOS. After that, if you're confident enough to open up your laptop or computer, you may try to reseat both cables of the internal HDD.

I hope my suggestions help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

Thanks,

Wilfred P.
